Controversial Video Sparks Political Tensions in West Bengal

Viral Video Allegations Against Humayun Kabir

A video featuring a West Bengal legislator from the Awami Janata Udyog Party (AJUP) has gone viral on social media, leading to serious allegations from the Trinamool Congress. The party claims that Humayun Kabir is involved in a deal with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In the footage, the individual purported to be Kabir discusses receiving ₹1,000 crores from the BJP. In response to these claims, Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that Mamata Banerjee could easily fabricate 2,000 such videos. He emphasized that Kabir and the BJP are as incompatible as the North and South Poles, asserting that they would rather remain in opposition for 20 years than ally with those responsible for the Babri Masjid demolition.

In the controversial video, Humayun Kabir is seen suggesting that deceiving Muslims is quite simple. He further asserts that it is crucial to prevent Mamata Banerjee from returning to power, claiming that the BJP would provide the necessary ₹1,000 crores to achieve this goal. Following the video's release, Asaduddin Owaisi severed ties with Kabir. However, Kabir has dismissed the video as fake, and the authenticity of the footage remains unverified.

Amit Shah's Remarks on the Issue

During a recent event in Kolkata where he unveiled the BJP's 'Sankalp Patra', Amit Shah was questioned about the allegations. He remarked, 'You may underestimate Mamata's capabilities; she could create 2,000 such videos. Humayun Kabir and the BJP are like the North and South Poles; we can never align. We would prefer to stay in opposition for another 20 years rather than collaborate with those who built the Babri Masjid.'
