Congress Demands Supreme Court Probe into Ram Temple Donation Embezzlement
Congress leader K.C. Venugopal has called for a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into the alleged embezzlement of donations for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. He described the incident as the 'biggest loot of a shrine ever seen in India,' affecting crores of devotees. Venugopal criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the matter and claimed that the Uttar Pradesh government's Special Investigation Team probe was inadequate. He alleged that the misappropriation occurred with the knowledge of temple trust officials and accused the BJP and RSS of using religion for political gain. Venugopal also mentioned similar allegations regarding the Badrinath and Kedarnath temples, stating that the Congress would raise the issue in the upcoming Parliament session starting July 20.
