Yogi citira SIT izvješće u slučaju krađe donacije Ram hrama kao Oppn zahtijeva raspravu u parlamentu

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated on Tuesday that no sadhu or saint has been found involved in the alleged embezzlement of donations collected at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya. His comments followed the submission of a preliminary report by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) tasked with investigating the case. According to the report, there is no evidence linking religious figures to the alleged financial misconduct. Adityanath addressed reporters and reiterated this point, emphasizing that the SIT’s findings indicated the innocence of spiritual leaders in the matter. He also accused the Samajwadi Party and the Congress of exploiting the situation politically to undermine the reputation of Uttar Pradesh. Adityanath criticized the opposition for raising the issue in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, calling their actions undemocratic and unconstitutional. He claimed that the Samajwadi Party had previously disrespected Ayodhya by allowing bloodshed in the area during its tenure in power. The chief minister further alleged that certain individuals questioning the existence of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna were now hypocritically invoking faith. He accused the Samajwadi Party and Congress of colluding to tarnish the image of Uttar Pradesh and distract from legitimate legislative business. The controversy emerged after the opposition announced plans to discuss the alleged embezzlement of Ram Temple donations during the assembly session. Leader of the opposition Mata Prasad Pandey asserted that the opposition would focus on the issue regardless of the government’s budget presentation. This led to protests within the Parliament, where opposition members raised concerns about the alleged theft of donations, the handling of the July 20 demonstration in New Delhi, and the Cauvery water dispute. Notable figures such as Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav participated in these demonstrations, with some symbolically placing contributions into a donation box. The Uttar Pradesh government had informed the Supreme Court on July 27 that it had established a new SIT under Inspector General of Police Kiran S to investigate the alleged embezzlement. As of now, eight individuals have been arrested, and authorities are tracing the financial trail to uncover additional beneficiaries and assets connected to the case. The investigation continues as officials work to determine the extent of the fraud and identify those responsible. The allegations against the Ram Temple donations have sparked widespread debate and scrutiny. While the SIT’s preliminary findings suggest that no religious figures are implicated, the investigation is ongoing and could yield more information. The situation has become a focal point of political tension, with the ruling party accusing the opposition of using the issue for partisan gain. Meanwhile, the opposition insists on addressing the matter, arguing that transparency is essential to maintain public trust. The Uttar Pradesh Assembly’s Monsoon Session, which commenced on Monday, has seen heightened political activity. The government presented a supplementary budget on Tuesday, but the opposition continued to press for a discussion on the alleged donation embezzlement. Adityanath emphasized that the opposition had failed to engage constructively with the legislative agenda, choosing instead to disrupt proceedings with unrelated issues. He warned that the opposition’s behavior was not only unconstitutional but also detrimental to the interests of Uttar Pradesh’s 25 crore residents. As the investigation progresses, the outcome could influence public perception and political dynamics in the region. The SIT’s findings may either confirm the initial conclusions or reveal new dimensions to the case. With eight arrests already made and the financial trail still being pursued, the resolution of the matter remains uncertain. The situation underscores the complex interplay between religion, politics, and governance in contemporary Indian society.
