Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari backs restrictions on entry to a mosque inside Kolkata’s airport, citing national security concerns. According to The Hindu, Adhikari says the airport’s location makes it sensitive because China and Bangladesh are nearby, and therefore the facility cannot keep access open for outsiders. News18 India reports that the dispute relates to a temporary suspension of prayers at the 136-year-old Gauripur Jama Masjid, also known as the Bankra Masjid, which is located within the airport premises. The two reports describe Adhikari’s position as supportive of curbs and frame the issue around security considerations. While the reports focus on the rationale for limiting access, they also indicate that the dispute involves religious activity at a longstanding mosque in the airport area. The coverage reflects an ongoing public controversy over how access and worship practices are handled at a controlled transport hub, with Adhikari emphasizing security and the temporary suspension of prayers as key points in the dispute.
