Following the announcement, a large number of supporters reportedly arrived with bricks and construction material and laid the foundation for the structure.

The incident immediately triggered widespread national reactions. While some groups praised the MLA’s move as “bold,” many others sharply criticized it, calling it unnecessary provocation.

Raja Singh said:
“I challenge that Ram bhakts from across India will come to Bengal and end every trace of a mosque built in the name of Babur, just as Babur’s name was removed in Ayodhya.”

He further added:
“There is a demonic rule in Bengal, and preparations must begin to remove it.”

His comments immediately sparked a heated political and social media debate, with many expressing concern that such statements could escalate communal tensions.
