A heated political conflict is unfolding in West Bengal's Murshidabad district, revolving around a proposed 'Babri Masjid-style' mosque.

BJP leader Arjun Singh has threatened to 'send to Babur' the suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir if he proceeds with the mosque's foundation-laying ceremony, labeling it as 'dramatic' and insulting to India's Constitution.

Kabir, whose suspension is criticized as political maneuvering, plans a rally to press forward, as security measures intensify amid controversy and allegations of exploiting religious sentiments for electoral gains.
