Oppn stages skit in parl complex over Ram Temple case, BJP hits back
The Opposition, including Congress and Samajwadi Party, staged a skit in the Parliament complex on Friday to protest the 'chanda chori' (offering theft) at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
The skit involved placing donation boxes near Makar Dwar and Independent MP Rajesh Ranjan (Pappu Yadav) symbolically pocketing money, with Rahul Gandhi and other MPs participating.
The BJP criticized the protest as denigrating Hindu faith, noting the government's swift action against the accused.
SP leader Awdhesh Prasad said the Opposition demands a discussion in Parliament on the issue, citing Ayodhya as the land of Lord Ram.
The Speaker's office may meet lawmakers to enforce guidelines for protests in Parliament premises.
