Mamata suspends MLA Kabir over mosque pledge
Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, has suspended a member of her party, Humayun Kabir, because he made a controversial promise to build a new mosque.
Kabir, who is an MLA, said he would start a new party and run in 135 seats in the upcoming elections.
Mamata called him a troublemaker and said he was being funded by the BJP.
Kabir, known for his controversial statements, said he would expose Mamata's 'double standards' and predicted she would lose the next election.
Mamata, meanwhile, emphasized the peaceful nature of Murshidabad and accused Kabir of trying to create trouble before the elections.
A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Calcutta High Court seeking a stay on Kabir’s plan to build the mosque.
The deadline for registering Waqf properties in the state also ends today.
BJP leader Arjun Singh warned Kabir against his mosque plan, and heightened security measures were put in place.
The Leader of Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, alleged that Kabir's suspension was a drama to mislead Hindu voters.
