“Babri Masjid banega, tumhare baap ka jagah hai?”: Himanta
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made strong remarks against former TMC leader Humayun Kabir during an election rally in Cooch Behar, West Bengal, adding to the intensity of the ongoing state poll campaign.
Sarma was reacting to Kabir’s comments on rebuilding the Babri Masjid. In response, he said, “Babri Masjid banega? Tumhara baap ka jagah hai kya?”—a remark that quickly went viral on social media.
The statement was part of Sarma’s broader criticism of opposition leaders as he sought to rally support for the BJP in the region. Delivered in a forceful tone, his comments reflect the increasingly aggressive nature of political campaigning in West Bengal.
The Babri Masjid remains a highly sensitive issue in Indian politics, tied to the long-standing dispute that led to the Babri Masjid demolition and the subsequent legal and political developments in Ayodhya. Any reference to the issue often draws strong reactions from both political figures and the public.
So far, Humayun Kabir has not responded to Sarma’s remarks. Political observers believe such exchanges are likely to deepen divisions as campaigning intensifies ahead of the elections.
With high stakes and sharp rhetoric dominating the narrative, West Bengal’s electoral battle continues to witness frequent verbal clashes between leaders from rival parties.
