Congress calls for time-bound judicial probe into Ram Mandir ‘missing donations’ row
Congress party leaders in Uttar Pradesh are demanding a judicial probe into alleged financial irregularities within the Ram Mandir trust. They claim the current SIT investigation is a farce and allege organized plunder by BJP and RSS members.
Why it matters
The Ram Mandir is a highly sensitive religious and political site in India, and allegations of corruption involving its trust carry significant political weight.
Uttar Pradesh Congress leaders on Tuesday (June 16, 2026) demanded a time-bound investigation by a sitting judge of a High Court into donations missing from the Ram Mandir trust, alleging “organised plunder’ of hundreds of crores of rupees by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) . The nation’s faith had been betrayed by the BJP-RSS, and sold in the name of religion, the Opposition party said.
