AAP to launch signature campaign for action in Ram Temple donation row
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is launching a nationwide signature campaign demanding accountability for alleged theft at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The party accuses the central government of shielding powerful individuals while arresting only low-level workers.
Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing political tension between the AAP and the BJP regarding religious site management and corruption allegations.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will launch a pan-India signature campaign on Sunday demanding that those who “stole” from the Ram Temple in Ayodhya be “hanged”. It also accused the Centre of protecting the culprits.
As part of the campaign, a letter addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be signed by people across India.
“It appears that instead of ensuring that those responsible for wrongdoing against bhagwanji are punished, attempts are being made to protect them. It seems that the SIT and the FIR are merely an attempt to mislead the public and bury the matter. Eight junior workers have been arrested while efforts are being made to shield the powerful,” reads the draft of the letter shared by the party.
