Congress accuses Modi and Shah of dodging Parliament over Ayodhya donation scandal

Congress MP Pramod Tiwari claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are avoiding parliamentary debate while the party pushes for a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the Ayodhya temple donation controversy.

During a parliamentary session in New Delhi, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of evading the legislature while the opposition highlights alleged irregularities in the Ayodhya temple donation fund. Tiwari argued that the BJP hierarchy dominates the trust, claiming the prime minister personally selected all its officials. He criticized the Special Investigation Team set up by the Uttar Pradesh government as a sham and called for a probe supervised by the Supreme Court. Emphasizing the issue’s significance to millions of believers, Tiwari pledged to bring the matter back to the House on Monday and to keep public pressure on the government until those responsible are held accountable.

Why it matters

The dispute could intensify political tensions and affect public trust in the handling of religious donation funds.
