Suspended Trinamool Congress legislator Humayun Kabir, who established the Janata Unnayan Party (JUP), announced a shift towards religious activities once West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee steps down. This decision follows a remark by Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, hinting at Kabir’s intention to build a Babri Mosque in Murshidabad district, resembling the one in Ayodhya.
In response, Kabir challenged Abhishek Banerjee to persuade Mamata Banerjee to retire from politics before the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. Kabir pledged to focus solely on the mosque project if Mamata Banerjee moves to the Digha temple she constructed. He also vowed to relinquish his party leadership if Mamata Banerjee complies.
Furthermore, Kabir dared Abhishek Banerjee to run for Chief Minister in the upcoming elections, emphasizing that public funds should not be used for personal religious ventures. Kabir highlighted that the Babri Mosque initiative relies on donations from the Muslim community, accusing Abhishek Banerjee of being anti-Muslim.
