Security has been heightened in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district ahead of the foundation laying of a mosque modelled on Ayodhya’s demolished Babri Masjid proposed by suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Humayun Kabir on Saturday.
Safiqul Islam, a resident of Uttar Barasat, was seen carrying bricks on his head for laying the foundation stone. He said that his contribution would go long way towards the construction of the masjid.
The day is especially sensitive as it is the anniversary of the December 6, 1992, demolition of the Babri Masjid. A Ram Mandir now stands at the spot in Ayodhya after the Supreme Court’s orders.
The Beldanga area of Murshidabad, where the replica mosque has been proposed, has been placed under a “high security” zone, with the police, Rapid Action Force (RAF) and BSF units being mobilised, officials told.
Earlier on Thursday, the Trinamool Congress on Thursday (December 4, 2025) suspended party MLA Humayun Kabir who had given a call for constructing ‘Babri Masjid’ on December 6 in the State’s Murshidabad district.
