'Devotees feel betrayed': Rahul Gandhi, Kharge write to PM Modi, seek probe into Ram temple donation theft
Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge wrote to PM Modi demanding an independent investigation into alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ayodhya Ram temple.
Eight arrests and two resignations of senior Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust officials followed allegations of donation theft.
The Congress leaders called PM Modi's silence on the matter 'unacceptable' and said public confidence had been shaken.
The Trust was constituted after an announcement by Modi in Parliament per a Supreme Court directive, with members appointed by the Union government.
Kharge stated on X that devotees who donated with faith 'feel betrayed' by the theft.
