Yusuf Pathan asks Shah to step in, halt removal of Murshidabad loudspeakers

Three former Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs, Yusuf Pathan, Abu Taher Khan, and Khallilur Rehman, who defected to the NCPI party, have requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to intervene and prevent the removal of loudspeakers from mosques in Murshidabad district. They argue that while respecting legal guidelines on noise regulation, the enforcement must be done fairly and sensitively to avoid offending religious sentiments. The MPs highlighted concerns over the uniform application of these rules, noting that West Bengal police claim the restrictions apply equally to all religious structures. Additionally, they raised issues regarding delays in resolving pending Electoral Photo Identity Card (EPIC) tribunal cases, which affect voter eligibility and access to various services. These MPs, who previously represented the TMC in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, have distanced themselves from supporting legislation that could harm Muslim interests.
