‘Sentiments hurt’: Seers, lawyers file police complaints against Pappu Yadav, Rahul Gandhi over Ram Temple skit
Seers and lawyers in Varanasi filed separate police complaints against Pappu Yadav, Rahul Gandhi, and other opposition leaders over a protest skit related to Ram Temple donations.
The complaints allege that the act, staged at Parliament's Makar Dwar, hurt religious sentiments and insulted Sanatan Dharma and the saint community.
The protest involved saffron-clad Pappu Yadav and was joined by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and MPs Awadhesh Prasad, Dharmendra Yadav, and Mahua Maji.
The skit was a symbolic protest over alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, with legal action demanded against all involved.
