Ram Temple donation row: Jairam Ramesh questions UP Govt over SIT probe, seeks accountability

New Delhi, Nov 7 (UNI) Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh on Saturday questioned the Uttar Pradesh government's handling of the investigation into alleged misappropriation of donations and offerings at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya, raising serious concerns over the functioning of two Special Investigation Teams (SITs), possible conflicts of interest and the manner in which an earlier investigation report was shared with the temple trust leadership.
Invoking the expressions "Chanda Chori, Aastha Dhokha" (theft of donations, betrayal of faith), Ramesh alleged that the government's own submissions before the Supreme Court had raised fresh questions about the investigation. He also questioned the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the allegations, accusing the government of attempting to shield those allegedly responsible for the misuse of devotees' contributions.
In a statement, Ramesh said donations and offerings made by millions of devotees represented the faith of the country and could not be treated as anyone's private property. He argued that the investigation must establish accountability not merely for those directly accused but also for any senior functionaries or supervisory authorities whose roles might require scrutiny.
