Kolkata: TMC MP and former Indian cricketer Yusuf Pathan’s visit to the Adina Mosque in West Bengal’s Malda district has triggered a wave of social media reactions and historical debates. Pathan, who recently shared pictures from the centuries-old structure, praised its architectural grandeur and historical significance — but his post soon became the centre of controversy.

In a post on X, Yusuf wrote, “The Adina Mosque in Malda, West Bengal, is a historic mosque built in the 14th century by Sultan Sikandar Shah, the second ruler of the Ilyas Shahi dynasty. Constructed in 1373–1375 CE, it was the largest mosque in the Indian subcontinent at that time, showcasing the region’s architectural grandeur.”

While the MP’s post highlighted the mosque’s legacy, several users were quick to counter his statement, asserting that the mosque was allegedly built after demolishing a Hindu temple known as the Adinath Temple. Sharing photos of what appeared to be Hindu motifs on the mosque’s walls, one user commented, “Dear Yusuf Pathan, you are standing on the grounds of one of the largest Hindu temples, the Adinath Temple, which was desecrated and occupied by Islamic invaders. Attached are some images for your reference. It is time to undo this injustice and barbarity and restore the temple’s former glory.”

Another user posted a close-up image of a stone carving from the mosque, writing, “Behold this striking image from the walls of the Adina Mosque in Malda! This intricate carving, possibly depicting a figure reminiscent of Lord Ganesha, raises profound questions about the site’s history. Could this be evidence of a Hindu temple, like the Adinath Temple, that once stood here before being repurposed by Islamic invaders?”

As the online debate intensified, several BJP leaders joined the discussion, referring to the mosque as the “Adinath Temple” and echoing the social media users’ claims.
