On this Special Report, the focus is on the escalating political row in West Bengal over suspended TMC leader Humayun Kabir's plan to build a 'Babri Masjid' replica in Murshidabad. TMC analyst Manojit Mandal defends the state government's non-interference, citing a High Court verdict that allows construction on private land. Mandal states, 'The High Court categorically stated that someone can build a mosque in a private land. The state can't do anything with that.'
