Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim announced on Thursday the suspension of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Humayun Kabir from the party. Hakim stated, “We noticed that one of our MLAs from Murshidabad suddenly declared that he would build the Babri Masjid. Why suddenly Babri Masjid? We already warned him. As per the decision of our party, TMC, we are suspending MLA Humayun Kabir.”
The Calcutta High Court is set to hear a public interest litigation on Friday regarding Kabir’s remarks about the reconstruction of the Babri Masjid. The Chief Justice’s Division Bench will take up the matter.
It is worth noting that Kabir has spent more time outside the leadership of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s party than he has within it. Additionally, he faced a six-year suspension from the TMC in 2015 due to anti-party statements.
