'Will build Babri' remark: TMC suspends MLA Humayun Kabir
TMC suspended Humayun Kabir for anti-party conduct after his plan to build a Babri Masjid replica raised communal tensions, with party leaders citing risks to peace.
- On Thursday, December 4, 2025 the Trinamool Congress suspended Murshidabad MLA Humayun Kabir for anti-party activities, senior leader Firhad Hakim said, citing instructions from top leadership.
- The planned Babri Masjid replica in Beldanga prompted concern after TMC MLA Humayun Kabir declared he would lay the foundation stone on December 6 despite three party warnings.
- Officials have cordoned the Beldanga plot, the landowner opposes the mosque plan, and Kabir claimed lakhs would attend, possibly blocking NH-12/NH-34, raising legal and administrative alarms.
- The TMC publicly distanced itself from Kabir's proposal and ordered preventive action for any law-and-order risks, while the BJP and national figures criticised the party for enabling polarisation.
- Kabir said he will resign and launch a party on December 22, vowing to contest 135 Assembly seats in next year's polls and challenge both TMC and BJP.
