Chief Minister Shubhendu Adhikari has cautioned state minister Humayun Kabir against proceeding with the construction of a mosque named after Babar, asserting that no such structure would be permitted in the state. Adhikari made the remarks in response to Kabir's reported plans for the project, warning of severe repercussions should any effort be made to block or disrupt traffic on public roads in connection with the initiative.
The warning comes amid heightened tensions within the state administration over religious construction projects. Adhikari did not elaborate on specific measures that would be taken, but his comments suggest firm resistance to the proposal at the state government level.
In related developments, Adhikari also announced strict action regarding cash received by the Trinamool Congress party office, signaling a broader crackdown on financial irregularities within party structures. The dual statements reflect intensifying scrutiny of administrative decisions and party fund management in West Bengal's political landscape.
