Imams' association chief questions VHP over ₹1,400 crore collected during Rath Yatra

Maulana Sajid Rashidi, President of the All India Imam Association (AIAA), has raised concerns about the financial transparency of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), particularly regarding ₹1,400 crore collected during the Rath Yatra associated with the Ram Mandir movement. He claims the VHP has long faced suspicion and has not provided an account of these funds. Rashidi linked recent allegations of embezzlement at the Ram Temple to the VHP, suggesting efforts to shield the organization by distancing figures like Champat Rai, the Ram Temple Trust general secretary, from the VHP. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has expanded its probe into the alleged misuse of donations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple, leading to arrests and resignations from the trust.
