Congress stresses need for independent probe into Ram temple donation misuse

Dalvi repeated a demand first raised by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He called for an independent investigation into the alleged misuse of funds donated for the Ram temple. "This is not a matter of a few hundred rupees," Dalvi said, noting that donors handed over gold, silver and bricks in trust. He suggested the money might have been used to purchase MPs for the BJP or to fund other party activities, and that a transparent probe is essential for public confidence.
