Congress Stages ‘Sadbhawna Rally’ in Kolkata Against Religious Polarization

KOLKATA, December 6, 2025 – Hundreds of Congress activists and supporters marched through Kolkata today in a “Sadbhawna Rally,” organized to protest against alleged attempts to polarize the population along religious lines. The rally, led by West Bengal Congress President Subhankar Sarkar, spanned over a kilometer, commencing at the Tipu Sultan Masjid at Esplanade and concluding near the Ram Mandir in Jorasanko.

Participants carried both party and national flags, along with placards condemning the BJP and TMC. They chanted slogans emphasizing the importance of unity and highlighting that building religious structures is not a solution to pressing issues like hunger and unemployment.

“We want to bring home the message that building temples and mosques will not solve hunger and provide employment opportunities,” stated Mr. Sarkar during the rally. “We stand against the politics of dividing people along religious identities.”

In addition to promoting religious harmony, the Congress party also used the rally to voice their concerns over alleged corruption during the TMC’s governance and the shrinking job market in West Bengal.

The rally took place on the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition, a date that the Congress hopes to prevent from being repeated. The party aims to promote unity among all religious faiths.
