Ayodhya Trust Faces Financial Scrutiny in High-Stakes Meeting

Treasurer Swami Govind Dev Giri remains silent on the specific financial claims, though he has committed to a media briefing following the deliberations. Trust President Nritya Gopal Das, while acknowledging the gravity of the reported misappropriations, has called for restraint, urging stakeholders to avoid politicizing the issue and to maintain confidence in the oversight of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Attendance at the session includes several prominent figures, such as Vishwaprasannatirth and Swami Parmanand Giri, alongside government officials including District Magistrate Shashank Tripathi and UP Home Secretary Sanjay Prasad. The internal review coincides with external legal pressure; the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court is preparing to hear a public interest litigation petition demanding a CBI probe into the Trust's financial management.
