Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has targeted the central government over the alleged donation row in the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, raising several questions. She flagged donations of ₹3,500 crores without an audit trail and questioned the disappearance of 70kg of silver and 1,250kg of gold donated by devotees.
The Krishnanagar MP asked about the 8 people arrested in the case, calling them 'small people', and questioned the role of the Prime Minister in overseeing the trust. She also targeted chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, saying that 'wherever he goes, something vanishes'.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has confirmed the resignations of its General Secretary, Champat Rai, and trustee Anil Mishra amid an ongoing probe into alleged irregularities in temple donations.
The Trust has assured devotees that their offerings are safely available along with proper records and that steps will be taken to prevent such situations in the future.
