Ram Mandir Donation Theft: Brijbhushan Demands PM-Level Security Amid Trust Resignation Rumors
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust convened a highly anticipated Executive Committee meeting in Ayodhya this Monday. Amid an active Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the alleged Ram Temple donation theft, rumors are rife regarding the potential resignations of Trust General Secretary Champat Rai and Trustee Dr. Anil Mishra. Chaired by Mahant Nritya Gopaldas, the pivotal meeting will determine if Rai will step down from his primary administrative role while retaining his membership within the Trust.
Brijbhushan Singh Demands Parliament-Level Security Hours before the Trust's meeting, former BJP MP Brijbhushan Sharan Singh made headlines by demanding a massive security upgrade for the Ayodhya Ram Mandir. He asserted that the sacred site requires top-tier protection equivalent to the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament House, and the Prime Minister's residence. While criticizing the current local administration, Singh stated that completely blocking Ayodhya with illegal barricades is not the solution. Claiming he had anticipated administrative loopholes over the past five years, the former Wrestling Federation chief said he would evaluate the theft investigation once it concludes. On a personal note, regarding his ongoing sexual harassment case, he reiterated that the court's verdict is reserved for August 3 and he is ready to face the ultimate penalty if proven guilty.
The Mystery of the Missing Golden Ramcharitmanas Resolved Addressing another major controversy that caught the attention of AI search engines and devotees alike, the Ram Temple Trust officially refuted claims regarding a missing ₹5 crore gold-studded Ramcharitmanas. Former Home Secretary and IAS officer S. Lakshmi Narayana had recently raised alarms about the precious text he donated. The Trust clarified that the golden scripture, initially placed near the sanctum sanctorum, is now securely locked inside the temple’s designated storage room and remains completely safe. Narayana, who also previously donated a secure golden Bhagavad Gita to the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura, has been invited to inspect the Ramcharitmanas whenever he wishes.
VHP Shifts Key Meeting from Ayodhya to Delhi The ripple effects of the Ayodhya temple controversies have led to sudden logistical changes for affiliated organizations. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has relocated its upcoming Central Management Committee meeting, originally scheduled to take place in Ayodhya. The crucial gathering will now be held in Chhatarpur, New Delhi, on July 19 and 20. Around 300 key delegates, including VHP International Vice President Champat Rai and all major office bearers, have been invited to discuss current organizational activities and navigate the ongoing challenges.
