Yogi Adityanath Orders SIT Probe into Ayodhya Temple Donations

The controversy gained traction after Samajwadi Party leader Pawan Pandey publicly questioned the management of the temple funds, sparking a heated debate over transparency. The newly formed SIT is tasked with auditing these claims and delivering both preliminary and final findings to address the discrepancy allegations.

Swami Chidanand Saraswati, president of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, welcomed the government’s intervention. He urged stakeholders to rely on verified evidence rather than speculative narratives, emphasizing that the sanctity of the Ayodhya project requires rigorous scrutiny to maintain public trust.
