Former Trinamool Congress leader and Janata Unnayan Party chief Humayun Kabir has today made a sharp counterattack on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s statement on Babri Masjid. 10 February 2026 Humayun Kabir said that he will definitely build a mosque replica of Babri Masjid in Murshidabad and no one can stop him. He directly challenged Yogi Adityanath and said, ‘I will build a mosque, if you can stop me then stop me.’ This controversy has intensified before the assembly elections in West Bengal, where communal issues have started heating up again.

Humayun gave open challenge to CM Yogi

Humayun Kabir told news agency ANI in Murshidabad that this is not Lucknow or Uttar Pradesh, this is Bengal and Mamata Banerjee rules here. He said that under the Indian Constitution, Muslims also have the right to build a mosque, just like others build temples or churches. Humayun Kabir announced that he had laid the foundation of the mosque on 6 December 2025, on the anniversary of the demolition of the Babri structure, and now the construction work will start from 11 February 2026. He said that around 1,200 people will start the work at 10 am while reading the Quran. Humayun challenged Yogi that if he has to be stopped, then he should do so, but he is not afraid and will not accept any pressure.

Babri Masjid will not be built till Doomsday: Yogi

Yogi Adityanath gave a very strict statement regarding the Babri structure in a meeting in Barabanki today. He said that the reconstruction of Babri Masjid will not happen even till the day of doomsday, because the day of doomsday will never come. Yogi said that those who are dreaming of doomsday, they will rot within no time and their dream will never be fulfilled. Referring to the Ram temple, he said that we had promised that Ram Lala would come and build the temple there, today the temple has been built there.

CM Yogi also targeted opportunists and those doing politics in the name of Ram. He said that Lord Ram has forgotten such people and those who opened fire on Ram devotees will find no place. Yogi also mentioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s hoisting of the saffron flag in Ayodhya and said that it shows the strength of Sanatan Dharma.

Controversy related to 1992 Babri Masjid incident

This dispute is related to the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992, when kar sevaks demolished the structure. The Supreme Court had ruled in 2019 that a Ram temple would be built there and the Sunni Waqf Board would be given 5 acres of land elsewhere. Ram temple has been inaugurated in 2024. Humayun Kabir was earlier in Trinamool Congress, but later got suspended and formed his own party. He said that this is his personal decision and a constitutional right. After Yogi’s statement, Hindu organizations have also protested and posters have been put up at some places that he will reach Murshidabad.

Elections are near in West Bengal, so this issue is increasing political tension. Humayun Kabir says that everyone in Bengal has rights under the Constitution and Yogi cannot do anything here. Yogi’s statement is going to strengthen BJP’s Hindutva policy. There may be more statements and protests on this in the coming days.

After the announcement of Babri Masjid in West Bengal, now the construction of Ram temple has also been announced. Ram temple will be built on the lines of Ayodhya in Shantipur of Nadia district on 15 bigha land, about 90 kilometers away from the replica of Babri Masjid to be built in Murshidabad. The idol of Lord Ram will be as described in the Krittivasi Ramayana written by the 14th century Bengali poet Krittibas Ojha, who lived in Phulia.

According to the report of Indian Express, according to Shri Krittibas Ram Mandir Trust, the organization that constructed the temple, the foundation stone of the temple will be laid in February. However, this initiative, which was started in 2017, is being launched again just a few months before the assembly elections. Located at Champtola Sadhurghat in Shantipur, this temple is about 90 km from Beldanga, where former TMC MLA Humayun Kabir had laid the foundation of Babri Masjid.

Let us tell you that this step has been taken immediately after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee inaugurated Jagannath Dham in Digha and laid the foundation stone of Durgangan in New Town and Mahakal Temple in Siliguri.

What did Trust President Arindam Bhattacharya say?

Trust president Arindam Bhattacharya, a former Congress MLA who later joined the BJP, said, “This is not a political move. It is a religious and cultural initiative which was started in 2017 when I was the MLA from Shantipur. Later, I moved out for some time and our team disintegrated. Now we have once again started work on this project. In 2017, the area for the proposed temple and the river ghat adjacent to it were identified.”

‘The idol of Lord Ram will be like the idol described in Ramayana’

Bhattacharya further said, “This temple is a part of reviving and preserving our culture here. Apart from the temple, the complex will also have a research centre, digital heritage center and a cultural centre.” He further said that this temple will be a replica of the Ram temple of Ayodhya, but the statue of Lord Ram in it will be similar to the one described in Ramayana. Lord Ram’s color will be green and he will be seated in the sanctum sanctorum along with Sita, Lakshman and Hanuman.

According to Bhattacharya, the trust already has 15 bighas (about 9.73 acres) of land available for the temple and the design of both the temple and the statue have been finalised.

Mahant Raju Das in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh has once again given a controversial statement while laying the foundation of Babri Masjid in West Bengal. Raju Das said that if this happens then the incident of 1992 will be repeated again and not only this, those who laid the foundation will also be broken. Regarding Babri Masjid, he said that Babri was Babar’s girlfriend, has Ismail become so weak? Who will support a robber and rapist.

Mahant Raju Das of Hanumangarhi said that we have no objection to the mosque, but naming it Babri is wrong. Raju Das often makes such provocative statements. There has been no reaction yet to his statement.

Statement of Mahant Raju Das

While talking to the media in Ayodhya, Mahant Raju Das called Babar a ‘thief, robber and rapist’ and called Babri his girlfriend. In a warning tone, he said, “Who is Babar and Babri today? Babar is a thief and robber and Babri is his girlfriend. Has Islam become so weak? Has Islam become a den of thieves, robbers and rapists?”

He further said, “Listen carefully, O son of Babar, if you keep making this mistake, then Sanatani has woken up now. We had gathered more than 7 lakh Sanatani people in Bengal. If you do not stop such work, then we will repeat 1992 again. This time we will not only demolish the mosque, we will also demolish the builder of the mosque and will also drive out his collaborators from the country.”

Raju Das said that he has no objection to the mosque. But making it in the name of Babar is not acceptable. He said that today Hindus are united, there is a roar to be made, understand 7 lakhs in one roar.

Who is Raju Das?

Let us tell you that Mahant Rajudas, along with being the chief priest of Hanumangarhi temple in Ayodhya, actively participates in the programs of Hindu organizations. He is the Mahant of Ujjainiya Patti associated with Nirvani Akhara. Raju Das is often in the news for his controversial statements.

A strange case of mistaken identity has come to light in West Bengal politics, where Humayun Kabir laid the foundation of a Babri Masjid-style mosque in Murshidabad, while 200 km away, another MLA with the same name in Debra, West Medinipur, received around 200 calls for donations.

When the suspended Trinamool Congress MLA appealed for donations for the proposed mosque in Beldanga in Rezinagar area of ​​Murshidabad on Saturday (6 December 2025), he would hardly have imagined that after this his party colleague, the MLA from Debra, would start receiving calls. For the past two days, Debra MLA’s mobile phone has been receiving calls from strangers from different states, most of whom are making the same request: give a QR code for donations for the proposed mosque.

‘I am not Humayun Kabir of Murshidabad.

Debra MLA said, ‘For the last one week, I have been facing a lot of difficulty in listening to the continuous calls and messages for Humayun Kabir of Murshidabad. This is a case of mistaken identity. A former Indian Police Service officer said, ‘Almost all the people calling want to send money for the Murshidabad mosque. I have to explain again and again that I am not Humayun Kabir of Murshidabad. I am a different person, although both of us were TMC MLAs until they were suspended last week.

He told that calls are coming from Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai, Haryana, Rajasthan and even from abroad. Debra MLA Humayun Kabir left his job as a police officer to join politics in 2021. He said, ‘I usually pick up all unknown numbers. In the last two days, I must have received around 200 such calls.

How much money has come so far for the mosque?

The former minister said, ‘I humbly ask him to find the correct number and contact the second Humayun Kabir directly.’ Debra MLA also clarified her stand on Facebook, and later posted a message which read, ‘Temples and mosques are not arenas for political wrestling, but places of prayer and worship.’ At the same time, according to associates of suspended Bharatpur MLA Humayun Kabir from TMC, 11 big donation boxes were kept at the venue on Saturday. By Sunday evening, four donation boxes and a bag full of cash were opened for counting, in which Rs 37.33 lakh was found. So far, Rs 93 lakh has been received as online donation through QRcode.

On the claim of suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir to lay the foundation stone of Babri Masjid, former plaintiff in the Ram Janmabhoomi vs Babri Masjid case Iqbal Ansari clearly said that there is no dispute left in the country regarding Ram Janmabhoomi and Babri Masjid.

He said that building a mosque in the name of Babar is neither politically correct nor good for the society. The political importance of this statement has increased further because before the Bengal elections, the politics of temple-mosque seems to be active again.

Court’s decision respected and dispute ended – Iqbal Ansari

Iqbal Ansari reminded that on 9 November 2019, the Supreme Court had given the final verdict on the Ram Janmabhoomi vs Babri Masjid dispute. The court allotted 5 acres of land to the Muslims and the Muslim community across the country respected the court’s order. He says that today there is neither any tension nor any legal fight on this issue, hence raising it again during election time seems to be just a political motive.

Politics of temple-mosque for elections in Bengal- Ansari

Attacking TMC leaders, Ansari said that elections have not started in Bengal yet, but the issue of temple-mosque is being increasingly raised in politics. He alleges that TMC leaders are bringing up Babar’s name for electoral gains, whereas it has no connection with the current situation.

He said, “We consider this to be purely political. We believe that a mosque should not be built in the name of Babar because Babar was not a messiah.” In a statement given to ANI, Ansari said that Babar did not do any such social work in India. No hospital, no school, no welfare work for any community. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to build a mosque in his name.

While giving a statement, Iqbal Ansari said that Babar neither did any work for the Hindus nor for the welfare of Muslims. Therefore, building a mosque in his name is neither religiously nor socially appropriate. He clearly said, “No mosque should be built in the name of Babar, this is our declaration.”

Suspended Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir on Saturday (December 6, 2025) laid the foundation stone of a mosque in the name of Babri Masjid at Rezinagar in Murshidabad district of West Bengal amid tight security. Vishwa Hindu Parishad has given a strong reaction on this. VHP leader Vinod Bansal has said that if Hindus are attacked anywhere under the cover of Babri, then Humayun Kabir, Chief Minister Mamata and the state administration will be responsible.

Bansal said, ‘There is no Babar’s blood in Humayun Kabir, but it seems that the spirit of that foreign invader has definitely infiltrated. The same soul is also inspiring that fundamentalist to easily collect petro dollars and zakat money sitting at home by insisting on building Babri Masjid. Besides, he also seems to be trying to become the Jinnah of Bengal by exploiting the radical Jihadi vote bank.

‘This is contempt of the Supreme Court’

He said that he is openly disrespecting the unanimous decision of the Honorable Supreme Court of 2019 in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple case. He is also doing cheap politics of creating communal tension in the entire country including Bengal by provoking his Jihadi group. Someone tell this Mir Baki, who is zero in the history, justice and public sentiments of the country, that Babri has already fallen to dust 33 years ago. Babar’s tomb is in Afghanistan. If you have to build Babri then go there and build it. On the other hand, the decision on Shri Ram Janmabhoomi has now become the final truth of the world.

‘Babri’s poison is being sown’

He said that the poison being sown in the name of Babri against the Hindus of Bengal, already suffering from the terror of Bangladeshi infiltrators and Jihadi fundamentalists, can easily be understood to have very serious adverse consequences on the law and order situation in the state.

‘State government should take strict action’

The VHP leader said that if the state government really respects the law, then it should immediately take strict action to stop this misdeed of the Mughal-loving MLA. The faith of crores of Hindus is not a political toy with which any mad MLA can play with to run his Muslim appeasement shop.

‘If anything happens, Bengal government will be responsible’

He said that under the cover of this Babri, if any mischief, nuisance, violence or frenzy breaks out against Hindus anywhere in the country including Bengal, then the responsibility for it will be on Humayun Kabir, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her government. It would be good if the Union Home Ministry and the State Governor can control such unruly mentality in time.

Suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Humayun Kabir on Saturday laid the foundation stone for the construction of Babri Masjid in Murshidabad, West Bengal. During the program he claimed that the Muslim population of the state will build this mosque at any cost and no one can move even a single brick of it. Kabir says that he is working within the ambit of the Constitution, because just as temples and churches can be built, mosques can also be built.

‘This is our constitutional right’ – Humayun Kabir
Addressing the gathering, Kabir said, ‘I am not doing anything unconstitutional. The Constitution says anyone can build a temple, anyone can build a church and I will build a mosque. It is not written anywhere that Babri Masjid cannot be built.

Kabir claimed that it is also recorded in the Supreme Court decision that Babri Masjid was demolished and the decision to build the temple was taken keeping in mind the Hindu sentiments. He said that if the foundation stone of Ram temple can be laid, then a mosque can also be built.

Kabir’s reply on threats and legal matters
Kabir told that five cases have been registered against him, but this will not stop the construction work. He said, ‘Whoever has Allah with him, no one can stop him.’

He claimed that about 4 crore Muslims live in Bengal and they have the right to build mosques. He informed that hospital, guest house and meeting hall will be included in this project costing Rs 300 crore.

BJP’s attack – ‘This is not a religious, but a political agenda’
After this incident, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) targeted the state government. The party alleges that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is promoting religious polarization in the state. BJP leaders raised questions as to why Kabir was suspended late after his controversial statements, and alleged that the entire matter was related to election strategy.

Tarun Chugh took aim
BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh, raising the issue of Babar and Babri Masjid, said, ‘Babar was the same whom Guru Nanak Dev Ji had described as a tyrant. Who had turned the rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saryu red with the blood of Hindus. The country will never accept any monument or construction in his name.

Assam Assembly Deputy Speaker accused TMC
Deputy Speaker of Assam Assembly Numal Momin launched a scathing attack and said that TMC’s intention is to make West Bengal an ‘Islamic state’ and Kabir’s move is a reflection of that agenda. Momin said, ‘Babar was an invader who destroyed the culture of India, demolished the Ram temple and built the Babri Masjid on top of it. Humayun Kabir is taking the same thinking forward. This shows the real intentions of TMC. He alleged that TMC in West Bengal is promoting such activities with the aim of appeasing illegal migrant Muslims and converting them into vote banks.

There is a political uproar regarding the laying of the foundation stone of Babri Masjid in Murshidabad district of West Bengal. Suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Humayun Kabir called for building Babri Masjid in Murshidabad, after which Kabir’s supporters came out with bricks on their heads. Kabir said that everything is fine and we are waiting till 12 noon. Quran will be read at 12 o’clock. After that a foundation stone laying program will be organized for the construction of the mosque.

Suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir has also claimed that the district administration is getting full support in this event. Murshidabad police and state police are supporting this event. For which Humayun has also thanked him.

Humayun Kabir’s decision creates ruckus in Bengal politics

After this statement of Humayun Kabir came to light, there was a political uproar in West Bengal. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reacted angrily to his remarks. Senior BJP leader in Bengal Dilip Ghosh alleged that leaders like Humayun Kabir are taking such steps only to earn their political bread and all this is just a despicable attempt to attract Muslim votes. He even said that due to the fight within TMC, such situations are being created in the state.

BJP took a jibe at Humayun Kabir

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dilip Ghosh also took a dig at Humayun Kabir during this period. He said that Kabir has attended many parties till now. If he has to do politics, he will have to form a new party. He should think about the welfare of Muslims, think about their salvation, and not take such steps just to garner their votes and shine his politics. The BJP leader also said that now that Shri Ram temple has been constructed in Ayodhya, Babri Masjid should be forgotten.

In this, President Razvi has expressed his objection on the statement of West Bengal Minister Siddiqullah Chaudhary and has also given advice. He has accused leaders like Siddiqullah of giving communal color to the atmosphere.

Razvi said, “Muslims believe that Babri Masjid was a 400-year-old mosque. But the claim of Ram Janmabhoomi on it, then the court process, hearing, arguments of the parties and opposition on it and finally the decision of the Supreme Court. The decision came in favor of Ram Janmabhoomi. It came against Babri Masjid. 5 acres of land for building Babri Masjid was given in Ayodhya. The construction of that mosque has not started yet.

He said, “Trinamool Congress leader Siddiqullah Chaudhary Saheb is questioning the decision of the Supreme Court. At that time he had said that he will respect the decision of the Supreme Court. The entire community, Muslim leaders had told the court to respect the decision and had done so. Now after so many years, why are Siddikulla Saheb and Madani Saheb objecting to the decision. Be it Humayun Kabir of Trinamool, who is talking about Babri Masjid, But they want to build a mosque. Now they all want to spoil the communal atmosphere by raising these issues.

AIMJ President said – Attempt to push the country into communal riots

He said, “Maybe the intention of these people is to push the country into communal riots again. This means that you do not want to go ahead in the fight for development, you just want to divide the people in the fight between Hindus and Muslims.”

What did Siddiqullah Chaudhary say?
Trinamool Congress leader Siddiqullah had raised questions on Babri Masjid and SIR on Saturday. In this he had said about Babri Masjid that the temple was built by forcefully demolishing the mosque. He said that neither any argument was given in the court, nor any evidence was presented. Only on the basis of faith the place of the mosque was considered a temple.

What did Madani say?
Maulana Mahmood Madani had also given a controversial statement regarding Vande Mataram on Saturday. In this he had targeted the group by calling it a dead community. Apart from this, he had also commented on the Supreme Court that the court remained silent in many cases. He also gave a provocative statement that whenever there is oppression, there will be jihad.

Congress Party’s national spokesperson Dr. Shama Mohammad has expressed strong objection to a statement by Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani on Saturday (November 29, 2025). Dr. Shama Mohammad even asked Maulana Madani to stop giving wrong teachings of Islam to the people.

In fact, Maulana Mahmood Madani, while addressing the National Governing Body meeting of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, had objected to the questions being raised regarding the word Jihad. He said that the enemies of Islam and Muslims have transformed the sacred ideas of Islam like Jihad into words associated with misuse, chaos and violence.

At the same time, during this time he raised questions on the Supreme Court and the decisions given by the Supreme Court, after which Congress leader Dr. Shama Mohammed got angry.

What did Maulana Madani say on the decisions of the Supreme Court?,

Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani said regarding the decisions of the Supreme Court, ‘It is impossible to create law and order and crime-free society in any country without justice. Sadly, in the last few years, especially after the decisions in cases like Babri Masjid and Triple Talaq, it has become a common perception that the courts are working under government pressure. ‘Many interpretations of constitutional rules and fundamental principles related to minorities have raised serious questions on the role of the judiciary.’

He said, ‘The Supreme Court deserves to be called Supreme only as long as it follows the Constitution and takes care of the duties of the law. If he does not do this then he does not deserve to be called supreme.
