Protesters in Bangladesh have organized rallies following reports of restricted access to Friday prayers at a mosque located within the Kolkata Airport premises. The demonstrations focused on the Bankra Mosque, with participants calling for severe legal action against a local Kolkata MLA.
Local residents and multiple Muslim organizations in Bangladesh staged a protest rally over a developing controversy involving the Gouripur Jama Masjid, also known as the Bankra Mosque. The mosque is situated within the high-security perimeter of the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata.
The protests were triggered by reports suggesting that restrictions had been placed on the performance of Friday prayers at the site. Demonstrators expressed their grievances regarding access to the religious facility and directed their anger toward a Kolkata-based Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for their alleged role in the situation.
During the rally, participants demanded strict accountability and legal measures against the political figure. The situation remains a point of tension as cross-border reactions continue to highlight concerns over religious freedom and airport security protocols.
