Kolkata airport mosque row: BJP backs prayer curbs, TMC lashes out

Published by Webster

The suspension of prayers at the Bankra mosque at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport for the past few days by the authorities has snowballed into a major controversy, leading to a war of words between the ruling party and the Opposition. The authorities, while stopping entry passes for congregational prayers at the mosque, cited heightened security concerns as the reason, but the matter took a political turn, with questions raised over access and religious rights. A string of BJP leaders, from Bengal ministers to the state party chief, backed the move to curb prayers at the mosque, stating that shifting the religious structure was essential for airport expansion and security. Opposition parties, however, called this an infringement of the religious rights of minorities, accusing the new BJP govt of ‘religious interference’. Notably, the 136-year-old mosque is situated near the airport, about 165 metres from the main runway. It has long been identified as a potential concern for airport operations and emergency responses. TMC MP Saugata Roy, speaking to IANS, said there had never …

Published by Webster

Poland on Monday voiced support for India’s stance on the West Asia conflict, with the Polish Secretary of State and Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Teofil Bartoszewski terming New Delhi’s approach as the “right position” and stressing that the ongoing crisis should be resolved through diplomacy while ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking to ANI in New Delhi, Bartoszewski said India’s role as a major economy and energy importer made its balanced approach significant amidst the ongoing conflict. He said, “India’s position is the right position because you are a big country, an important country, and you benefit from free access to goods, including oil, and you depend very much on the oil and gas from the Gulf. Poland still maintains contact with Iran… We informed them that our preferred solution is a diplomatic one. So we do the same thing as Prime Minister Modi. We try to talk reason, but to moderate effect, I would say.” On the ongoing West Asia conflict, the Polish minister underlined that international waterways, that is, …
