Prayagraj, 24 June (HS): The City and District Yamunapar

Congress Committee held Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath responsible for the alleged theft of offerings and donations at the

Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Party workers staged a protest and demonstration at the

District Collectorate on Wednesday afternoon and expressed their anger over the

incident. Following the call given by the U P Congress, workers led by City

President Fuzail Hashmi marched to the District Magistrate's office raising

slogans such as Modi-Yogi Sharam Karo and Chanda Chor Gaddi

Chhod.

Addressing the gathering, Congress leaders alleged that the

very people who had been entrusted with the responsibility by the Prime

Minister and the Chief Minister were involved in the alleged misappropriation.

Demanding an FIR lodged against the accused, they also questioned the

functioning and monitoring system of the Temple Trust.

The Congress workers accused the Yogi government of

attempting a cover-up in the investigation and demanded a comprehensive probe

into the matter either by the CBI or under the supervision of a sitting judge

of the High Court. They also demanded that CCTV footage and other relevant

documents related to the incident be preserved and that the administration of

the temple be handed over to an administrative officer.

The speakers stated that the alleged theft of offerings and

donations at the Ram Temple, a symbol of faith for millions of Hindus across

the country, has deeply shaken public sentiments and religious faith. They

further demanded strict action against all those found guilty. District
