The Congress on Sunday alleged that scams are happening by taking donations in the name of Lord Ram.
The Congress on Sunday alleged that scams are happening by taking donations in the name of Lord Ram after two opposition leaders accused Shriram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust normal secretary Champat Rai of shopping for a bit of land at an inflated value for the Ram temple premises.
The allegation that the land value Rs 2 crore was introduced at an inflated value of Rs 18.5 crore was made by two opposition leaders — AAP’s Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh and a former minister in the Samajwadi Party authorities, Pawan Pandey. The allegation was strongly refuted by Rai.
Tagging a tweet on Rai refuting the allegation, Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala stated, “Lord Ram, what kind of days are these? Scams are happening by taking donations in your name. Shameless robbers are intoxicated with arrogance like Ravana and are selling faith.”
“The question is how the land bought for Rs 2 crore was sold after 10 minutes to ‘Ram Janmabhoomi’ for Rs 18.50 crores?” he requested. “Now it seems… Kans are ruling, Ravana is everywhere!” Surjewala stated in a tweet in Hindi.
Terming it a case of cash laundering, Singh and Pandey each sought a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate.
