The assembly, scheduled for 3 PM, brings together key trustees and government officials to navigate the growing scandal. While Nritya Gopal Das oversees the trust, his attendance remains uncertain due to health issues, necessitating remote participation from members like K. Parasaran. Trustees Krishna Mohan and VHP leader Rajendra Singh 'Pankaj' have already arrived in Ayodhya to participate in the deliberations.

Simultaneously, the legal front is intensifying. Police have secured authorization to interrogate five suspects currently in custody regarding the financial irregularities. Amid the turmoil, a movement of support has coalesced around General Secretary Champat Rai, with factions advocating for him to retain his leadership role despite the mounting pressure. Opposition leaders continue to push for an independent investigation, while the BJP maintains that these critiques are politically motivated attacks on the institution.
