The Trinamool Congress on Thursday suspended its Bharatpur MLA Humayun Kabir, who had stirred up a political storm after proposing to build a ‘Babri Musjid’ in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district.

Kabir, who has signalled revolt for months and recently declared his intention to float a new outfit, had said that the foundation stone of the mosque would be laid on December 6 and that NH-34 would be under "Muslim control" on that day.

"Kabir was involved in communal politics, which the TMC is strictly against. TMC does not believe in communal politics. He will have no relation with the party from this moment. He is suspended on the instructions of our top leadership," TMC leader Firhad Hakim said.
