Rajya Sabha Chairman Blocks Kharge from Raising Ram Temple Donation Theft Issue
Rajya Sabha Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan disallowed Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge from raising the alleged theft of Ayodhya Ram Temple donations, citing it as a state subject unsuitable for discussion in the Upper House. The Chairman also noted he had similarly blocked the ruling party's attempt to raise a Jharkhand police action issue on the same grounds. Despite protests from opposition members, the House was adjourned without addressing the matter, with the Chairman emphasizing he would not permit repeated state subjects to disrupt proceedings.
