Trinamool Congress MP Shatrughan Sinha criticized the foundation laying of a mosque in Murshidabad, West Bengal, before assembly elections. Sinha attributes the act to political desperation, questioning its timing and the involvement of a suspended TMC MLA. He further alleges that this move aims for political mileage.

Trinamool Congress MP Shatrughan Sinha has expressed concerns over the foundation stone laying of a mosque in Murshidabad, modeled after Ayodhya's Babri Masjid, labeling it a politically desperate move ahead of Bengal's assembly elections.

Speaking in Asansol, Sinha highlighted potential political motivations behind suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir's involvement, coinciding with 'Sadbhavna Diwas', a day meant for fostering goodwill.

The TMC has faced internal controversies with the mosque event, raising political tensions before elections. Sinha accused BJP-linked electoral roll revisions as part of ongoing political maneuvers.
