Aaditya Thackeray Links UCC Debate to Ram Mandir Donation Scrutiny

Thackeray, adopting a combative stance, rebranded his political rivals as the 'Babar Janata Party,' positioning his own faction as the true guardians of Lord Ram’s legacy. He argues the timing of the UCC discourse is not coincidental but a deliberate maneuver to pull attention away from accusations of embezzlement linked to the Ayodhya temple donations.

Demanding judicial oversight, Thackeray called for a Supreme Court-led inquiry into the financial dealings of the temple trust. The matter is currently moving toward the courtroom, as a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant prepares to hear petitions concerning the alleged mismanagement of funds.
