Three Opposition Lawmakers Face Legal Action After Temple Mockery in Lok Sabha

During a protest in the Parliament on July 31, 2026, opposition MPs Rahul Gandhi, Avadhesh Prasad and Pappu Yadav staged a dramatized act that portrayed Hindu saints and the Ram temple in a satirical manner. The act, which involved a mock donation box and a monk’s costume, was condemned by a senior monk of the Patalpuri Math, who filed an FIR alleging that the performance insulted religious feelings and could lead to social unrest. The police have now registered a case against the three members of Parliament.
