Congress Questions Investigation and Delay in Ayodhya Ram Temple Donation Theft Case
The Congress has criticized the investigation into alleged donation thefts at Ayodhya's 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 Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the issue. The party also raised concerns about the recovery of only Rs 79.85 lakh despite 105 reported theft incidents.
