They carried placards, raised slogans and displayed a donation box. Congress and Samajwadi Party members were among those participating. The opposition has sought discussions, details of injuries and arrests, and an independent inquiry into the alleged use of force during a July 20 demonstration. Union minister Kiren Rijiju accused the Congress, Samajwadi Party and CPI of being anti-Lord Ram and sought an apology. The claims about donation misuse and police excesses have not been independently established in the sources. Protests continued to disrupt parliamentary proceedings, although leaders also discussed pending bills. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com - hindustantimes.com - thehindubusinessline.com Tags: Ayodhya temple, Kiren Rijiju, Opposition, Parliament, student protests Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/opposition-protests-alleged-ayodhya-donation-theft-in-parliament/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
