Congress Demands Supreme Court Probe into Alleged Ram Temple Donation EmbezzlementPreviousNext

Congress leaders have raised serious allegations of large-scale embezzlement of donations meant for the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which manages the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. They demand a Supreme Court-monitored judicial probe and have called for the dissolution of the current Trust committee. Some Congress members have also urged that the investigation be handed over to the Army, citing concerns over impartiality and systemic irregularities, including destroyed CCTV footage and unaccounted valuables.
