Congress MPs seek Rajya Sabha probe into Ram Mandir trust finances

The motion follows a similar request from colleague Renuka Chowdhury, who pushed for an immediate adjournment to address the lack of transparency surrounding the Trust. Chowdhury specifically called for an independent audit and a government statement detailing the regulatory oversight governing the institution’s accounts. These efforts highlight mounting pressure from the Opposition regarding the accountability of the body responsible for the temple’s funds.

Simultaneously, the Opposition plans to stage a protest at the Parliament’s Makar Dwar, broadening their grievances to include demands for a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding recent police actions against demonstrators in the capital. Tensions are further compounded by the recent public demonstrations by Purnea MP Pappu Yadav, who has been vocal about the donation controversy. As the Monsoon Session reaches its eleventh day, the standoff over these financial allegations and ongoing legislative disputes suggests further heated confrontations between the government and the Opposition benches.
