Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's response in Parliament to allegations of embezzlement of donations and theft of valuables at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Speaking to ANI in Rudrapur, Kharge said the issue concerns the faith of devotees and questioned who appointed the temple trust, inaugurated it, and selected its members. He alleged that jewellery, gold, silver, cash and a gold Ramcharitmanas book are among the missing assets. The Uttar Pradesh government told the Supreme Court on July 27 that it formed a fresh Special Investigation Team (SIT) under Inspector General Kiran S to probe the matter, with eight accused arrested so far.
Opposition cries of theft at a temple built with public devotion feel convenient and overheated. Without a single charge sheet or named accused from the government's own SIT, calling for the prime minister's personal explanation in Parliament is pure political theatre. The real test will be the SIT's final report: does it name specific individuals with evidence, or does the matter fade into a partisan shouting match?
