Samajwadi Party MPs Donate Protest Funds Amid Alleged Ram Temple Donation Theft
Samajwadi Party MPs donated over ₹2.15 lakh and two silver coins collected during their Parliament protest to a Hanuman temple in Delhi, symbolizing protection of devotees' offerings amid allegations of theft at the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The party emphasized protesting the alleged misappropriation of donations, not the temple itself, and called for a judicial investigation. The issue has been a significant opposition critique during the Monsoon Session, with party leaders also expressing support for jailed leader Azam Khan amid related controversies.
