Ram Temple Trust to meet on July 22 amid donation theft allegations
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is set to meet on July 22 to address allegations of donation embezzlement. The meeting will focus on internal restructuring and reviewing the progress of the investigation into the missing funds.
Why it matters
As the trust manages a high-profile religious site, the allegations of financial misconduct have significant public and political implications.
In the midst of allegations of embezzlement of donations made to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust will hold a meeting on July 22.
According to the agenda the Trust’s general secretary Krishna Mohan circulated in a letter to trustees, the meeting will take the matter of confirmation of the proceedings of its July 6 meeting. This apart, a special meeting has been scheduled for 3 p.m. in the Ram Temple complex, followed by the regular Trust meeting at 4 p.m. at Maniram Chawni, the premises of Trust president Nritya Gopal Das.
The trustees are likely to discuss the reconstitution of various committees in accordance with the Trust’s rules and deliberate on the final report of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the donation theft, if it becomes available by then.
