Suspended TMC MLA Raises Funds for Mosque
A man named Humayun Kabir, who was a member of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) party in West Bengal, India, was suspended from the party.
He then decided to form his own political party and join forces with another party called AIMIM.
He wants to stop the BJP and TMC from winning in the upcoming elections.
He laid the foundation stone for a mosque that looks like the Babri Masjid, which caused some controversy.
The TMC party said he was wrong to do this and that he was trying to create trouble.
Humayun Kabir raised a lot of money for the mosque, with donations coming in from both inside and outside India.
The event was very well-attended, with thousands of people showing up to support him.
Suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir raised over Rs 1.30 crore for a Babri Masjid-style mosque in Murshidabad district.
Donations included Rs 37.33 lakh in cash and Rs 93 lakh online, with more donations expected from sealed boxes.
The foundation stone for the mosque was laid on 6th December 2023, coinciding with the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition.
The event drew tens of thousands of people, with elaborate arrangements including the serving of shahi biryani to around 40,000 attendees.
Kabir's suspension from the TMC followed repeated run-ins with the party leadership, and he plans to form a new political party to contest in 135 constituencies.
