TMC MLA claims Hindus voted for BJP, demands power for Muslim leaders

Op India  

On Monday, Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir courted controversy for demanding the replacement of fellow TMC members from the party committee in Murshidabad with ‘Muslim leaders’. Kabir had been aghast with the TMC high command for giving ‘pure unadulterated power’ to party members such as Shaoni Sinha Roy and Apurba Sarkar and their family members. Will this community not receive importance from Mamata Banerjee?” Humayan Kabir made it clear to the TMC high command that if ‘Muslim leaders’ are not given charge of Murshidabad, then the community will move away from the party. While addressing the party workers, Kabir warned, “Akhankar jini nirbachito vidhyak, amar songe panga nite ela, tomar hadgor sob ek jaigai kore debo.” He further instructed Chowdhury to treat the TMC workers with respect, else he would permanently stop his entry to Shaktipur.
