TMC MLA Builds Mosque in West Bengal
Humayun Kabir, a suspended MLA from the TMC, is organizing a big event to lay the foundation for a new mosque in West Bengal.
He says there are people trying to cause trouble, but he believes many supporters will come to make sure the event goes smoothly.
The area is heavily guarded by police and special forces to prevent any problems.
The mosque is being compared to the Babri Masjid, which has caused some political tension.
The high court said the event can go ahead, but the government is responsible for keeping everything peaceful.
Kabir is also planning to build a hospital, school, and guest house at the site.
The event is happening on December 6, which is a sensitive date because it marks the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992.
The state government has declared a holiday to promote communal harmony, while other political parties have different views on the event.
A video shows people donating money for the mosque construction, and more than 100 tractors loaded with construction material arrived at the site.
