Congress Demands Probe Into Alleged Ram Temple Fund Misuse

Singh’s public critique centers on the moral obligation to protect contributions made by devotees for the site’s development. He contends that those appointed by the Prime Minister to oversee the project bear responsibility for the alleged financial irregularities, urging that all resources be strictly channeled toward construction and local infrastructure.

The administrative response to these claims involves a three-member Special Investigation Team established on June 14, acting on a formal request from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir Trust. Legal pressure is also mounting, with a petition filed in the Supreme Court requesting a court-monitored inquiry. The applicants are specifically seeking to involve the Central Bureau of Investigation to scrutinize the management of the temple’s finances and address broader allegations of institutional mismanagement.
