Kolkata, July 13 -- Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar said that the mosque located near the runway at Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport will be relocated, alleging that previous governments avoided taking action due to "appeasement politics".

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Majumdar said the relocation would help address long-standing concerns related to airport expansion and security.

"Ever since I was a student, I used to read in the newspaper that due to a mosque at Kolkata airport, the runway cannot be constructed and no previous government interfered due to appeasement politics..Now that our government is in power, we don't believe in appeasement politics. Mosque will be relocated...," he said.
