In a move that is set to reignite political and communal tensions in West Bengal, the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has publicly appealed to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to initiate criminal proceedings against a suspended Trinamool Congress MLA for allegedly constructing a mosque in the name of the Mughal emperor Babur.
The appeal came in the form of a letter, released to the media by VHP’s national spokesperson, Vinod Bansal, in New Delhi on Wednesday. The letter, signed by the organization’s International President, Shri Alok Kumar, calls for immediate and stringent action against Humayun Kabir, the MLA from Rejinagar constituency in Murshidabad district.
The VHP’s letter makes a specific legal demand. It urges CM Banerjee to direct the state police to register a First Information Report (FIR) against the MLA under Sections 196 and 299 of the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with other relevant sections of the law.
