Breaking News: Bengal Governor Flags Irregularities After Babri Masjid Foundation Claim Sparks Storm

A major political controversy has erupted in West Bengal after Governor C.V. Ananda Bose issued a stern warning against any attempt to construct a Babri Masjid in the state without legal sanction. The statement came in response to TMC MLA Humayun Kabir’s claim that the foundation stone for a Babri Masjid would be laid on December 6, a date highly sensitive in the context of the historic Ayodhya dispute. The Governor declared that “no construction violating the law will be permitted in Bengal,” adding that strict action would be taken against anyone attempting to provoke communal tension. The remarks have intensified the political atmosphere, with opposition parties demanding clarification and accusing the TMC of playing with religious sentiments. Officials say the state administration has increased vigilance in sensitive districts to prevent any unauthorised gathering or activity. Police forces have been instructed to maintain strict surveillance around areas flagged as potential flashpoints. The TMC, meanwhile, has distanced itself from Kabir’s remarks, saying the comment was made in his personal capacity and does not reflect the party’s stance. With both state officials and political parties on alert, the issue continues to escalate, creating a charged atmosphere ahead of the scheduled date.
