Congress Questions Delay and Accountability in Ayodhya Ram Temple Donation Theft Probe
The Congress party has criticized the investigation into alleged theft of donations at the Ayodhya Ram temple, highlighting a 21-day delay in filing the FIR and questioning why former trust officials Champat Rai and Anil Mishra are treated as witnesses rather than accused. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh called for an independent probe under Supreme Court supervision and questioned the Modi government's leniency and silence on the issue, noting only Rs 79.85 lakh was recovered despite 105 reported theft incidents.
