Setback for Trinamool MLA as Murshidabad farmer refuses to give land for Babri Masjid

Murshidabad farmer Tajimuddin Chowdhury refuses to sell his 4-acre land for Babri Masjid construction, challenging rebel Trinamool MLA Humayun Kabir's December 6 foundation stone plans.

"I will not sell that land as I does not want a Babri Masjid to be built on that land - Tajimuddin Chowdhury"

Kolkata, Nov 26

A farmer in Murshidabad district on Wednesday said that he would neither sell his land nor allow anyone to build Babri Masjid on his land.

The revelation came days after rebel Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir said he would lay the foundation stone for Babri Masjid in Murshidabad district's Beldanga on December 6.

The rebel Trinamool MLA wants to lay the foundation stone of the Babri Masjid on the land of one farmer named Tajimuddin Chowdhury alias Milon, a resident of Beldanga.

A farmer by profession, Tajimuddin has a total of about 4 acres of land.

Speaking to media persons, the farmer said that he will not sell that land as he does not want a Babri Masjid to be built on that land.

However, despite his objections, preparations for the laying of the foundation stone of the Babri Masjid have begun on that land. Meanwhile, the farmer has started the work of marking the boundary of the land since Wednesday morning. He said that no one will be allowed to enter the land.

The MLA, however, threw a challenge by saying that he would give his life to build the Babri Masjid if necessary.

"There are multiple places in Beldanga. The foundation stone of Babri Masjid will be laid on December 6. No force can stop it. The responsibility of maintaining law and order in the district is not mine alone. If necessary, there will be a fight," he said.

Humayun Kabir also expressed his anger that the Trinamool MLAs Hasanuzzaman Sk and Rabiul Alam Chowdhury of Beldanga and Rejinagar constituencies, respectively, are not helping him in any way in the construction of the Babri Masjid.

It may be recalled that Kabir had earlier given a call to lay the foundation stone of the Babri Masjid on December 6, the day when West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool Congress’s all India general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee will be addressing a gathering in Kolkata on the anniversary of the Babri Mosque demolition at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh on December 6, 1992.

In the backdrop of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee will attend the rally 'Samhati Diwas' (Unity Day) on that day in Kolkata to send across a message of unity and communal harmony.

This is exactly why we need to move beyond these religious controversies. The farmer wants to peacefully cultivate his land, and politicians are trying to create unnecessary tension. Let the man farm in peace!

Why can't politicians focus on real issues like employment, education, and healthcare instead of creating religious conflicts? This MLA seems more interested in publicity than public welfare. 🤦‍♂️

As someone who has visited West Bengal, I appreciate how the state has maintained communal harmony. This kind of political posturing could disturb the peace. The administration should ensure the farmer's rights are protected.

The timing is clearly political - December 6th when Mamata Banerjee is holding her Unity Day rally. This rebel MLA is trying to create a counter-narrative. But forcing someone's private land is not the way.

While I respect religious sentiments, private property rights are fundamental. The farmer has every right to refuse. Hope the local authorities support him and prevent any unlawful activity on his land.

This is why land records and property rights need to be strengthened in India. A farmer shouldn't have to worry about politicians trying to take his land for political gains. Stand strong, Tajimuddin ji! 💪
