RSS Statement Disgraceful and Shameful: Jairam Ramesh on Ram Temple Donation Row
The RSS backed a probe and demanded strict punishment for those found guilty as the temple donation controversy deepened.
- On Sunday, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed the alleged donation embezzlement at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya, directing reporters to an official statement released by RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale.
- Following arrests in June, the Uttar Pradesh government granted the Special Investigation Team a 15-day extension on July 1 to investigate alleged theft from donation boxes at the Shri Ram Lalla Temple.
- Appealing for patience, Hosabale cautioned against "anti-Hindu and anti-national forces" exploiting the controversy, describing the incident as "highly condemnable" while urging the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust to restore public confidence.
- Scheduled for Monday, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust will deliberate on potential resignations of General Secretary Champat Rai and trustee Anil Mishra amid the ongoing scandal.
- Beginning July 10 in Belagavi, the annual Akhil Bharatiya Prant Pracharak Baithak will likely focus on the controversy, as senior functionaries express concern over damage to the organisation's public image and credibility.
