Nirmohi Akhara Seeks Supreme Court Direction to Reconstitute Ram Temple Trust
The Nirmohi Akhara has petitioned the Supreme Court seeking the reconstitution of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust as a public trust, alleging the current private structure lacks accountability and does not reflect the 2019 Ayodhya verdict. The Akhara demands appropriate representation in the trust's management, adherence to Ramanandi Sampradaya rituals, restoration of original idols, a forensic audit of financial transactions, and an independent panel to review the trust's compliance with the Supreme Court's directions amid recent embezzlement allegations.
