Sujapur constituency in Malda district, West Bengal, is witnessing significant unrest ahead of the assembly elections, primarily due to the arrest of Mofakkarul Islam, a member of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM). Islam, accused of inciting violence during a speech, was apprehended by Bengal Police at Bagdogra airport. His arrest has sparked outrage, particularly among the local Muslim community, who view him as a voice for their grievances. Many residents blame Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the situation, feeling her remarks and actions have alienated them further. The constituency, which has about 88% Muslim and 12% Hindu population, was previously a Congress stronghold until the Trinamool Congress won it in 2021. In this election, Trinamool has nominated Sabina Yasmin, while AIMIM's Rejaul Karim and Congress's Mohd Abdul Hannan are also contesting. The political tension is palpable, with many residents concerned about their voting rights due to administrative issues.
