Congress demands SC probe into Ram Temple fund embezzlement

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh has called for a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into alleged embezzlement of donations for the Ayodhya Ram Mandir. He questioned the connections of individuals accused in the case with the BJP, RSS, and VHP, claiming these organizations are evading accountability despite their involvement in the temple's management. Ramesh emphasized that those linked to the BJP, RSS, and VHP were responsible for various aspects of the temple's financial operations, including donation collection and management. He urged for a broader investigation beyond the eight employees already arrested and demanded transparency in financial records related to the temple. The Congress leader highlighted previous allegations made by a former RSS accounts officer, who reportedly identified discrepancies in the temple's financial dealings.
