Suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir has raised alarms over alleged conspiracies to disrupt the foundation-laying ceremony of a mosque in Murshidabad, West Bengal, scheduled for Saturday.

Security measures have been heightened, with thousands of volunteers on duty and law enforcement agencies poised to maintain order. Kabir, asserting the event's peaceful intentions, mentioned the simultaneous construction of a hospital and educational institution.

Alleging that political opponents are attempting to ignite religious tensions, Kabir accuses the TMC and other parties of polarizing the issue. The Babri Masjid-style mosque project has sparked political unease, and Kabir sees the event as a test of his influence amid his suspension from TMC.
