Calls for Supreme Court Probe into Alleged Ayodhya Ram Temple Donation Theft
The alleged theft of donations from the Ayodhya Ram temple has prompted calls for a Supreme Court-monitored investigation. Congress leaders, including Jairam Ramesh, criticized the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, alleging a biased SIT report that cleared key officials. Aam Aadmi Party's Aman Arora also urged Modi to ensure accountability, citing over 100 recorded theft incidents and letters from devotees demanding justice. The controversy centers on transparency and responsibility for the temple funds.
