A massive political row has erupted after a Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA stated that a foundation stone of Babri Masjid will be laid in West Bengal on December 6, the anniversary of the mosque demolition in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya in 1992. While talking to the reporters, Humayun Kabir said that the foundation stone will be laid in Murshidabad district, adding that the event will be attended by various Muslim leaders. While reacting to his remarks, BJP claimed that the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC was doing the appeasement politics in Bengal, further blaming the ruling party for hurting the sentiments of Hindus.

The TMC leader had stated that the foundation stone will be laid in the Beldanga region, adding that the mosque will take three years to complete. "We will lay the foundation stone of Babri Masjid on 6th December in Beldanga, Murshidabad district. It will take three years to complete. Various Muslim leaders will participate in that event," Kabir was quoted as saying by ANI. While reacting to his remarks, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla stated that the TMC was doing the appeasement politics, adding that these people will go to any extent for the "vote bank politics".

"This is the appeasement pro-max politics of TMC. TMC now means 'Tushti Karan Mujhe Chahiye'... This controversial Humayun Kabir, who says he will chop off Hindus and throw them into Bhagirath, is now making yet another controversial statement because their philosophy is, 'give Hindus gali and take vote bank ki tali", Poonawalla was quoted as saying by ANI.

"They are the same people who oppose 'Jai Shri Ram', Ram Mandir, who have insulted 'Maa Sita,' 'Maa Durga,' 'Maa Kali', and say Sanatan should be eliminated. These are the same people who, for vote bank politics, will go to any extent, whether it is inciting on Waqf, CAA, SIR, or doing these kinds of things," he added.

Apart from this, Congress leader Ajay Kumar Lallu asserted that his party will talk about the key issues, including employment, education, health, and security. "We're very clear. We talk about employment, education, health, security, women, farmers, labourers, equality, and inclusion. The Congress Party always talks about the Constitution, and these should be the criteria for elections," Lallu was quoted as saying by ANI.
