'Do You Wear Janeu?': Ram Temple CEO Candidates Face Questions On Religious Practices
Only eight of 18 shortlisted candidates were interviewed on the first day as the trust weighs leadership plans for the Ram temple after donation embezzlement allegations.
- On Tuesday, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust began interviewing candidates for its first full-time CEO at the Green House in Ayodhya, with eight of the 18 shortlisted applicants interviewed on day one.
- The Trust decided to appoint a full-time CEO following alleged embezzlement of temple donations, which prompted the resignation of three officials, including former general secretary Champat Rai, and the arrest of eight people.
- During the private sessions, applicants faced questioning about their religious practices, including whether they wear a "janeu" and adhere to dietary restrictions, alongside inquiries about their leadership abilities and vision for the Ram temple.
- A three-member selection committee comprising Justice Pramod Kohli, Gen Vishnukant Chaturvedi, and Suresh Haware conducted the closed-door sessions, which are now expected to continue for four more days instead of the initially planned two.
- The selection committee will shortlist three names from the 18 candidates for the Trust's final decision, concluding a process that narrowed down an initial pool of around 5,200 applicants.
