Congress rallies behind Rahul Gandhi after FIR over Ram Temple protest skit
Congress leader Pawan Khera defended Rahul Gandhi after a police report was filed against him and other MPs for a Lok Sabha protest linked to alleged misuse of Ram Temple donations.
A police complaint has been registered against Rahul Gandhi and other opposition parliamentarians after they staged a protest in the Lok Sabha that highlighted concerns over the handling of contributions intended for the Ram Temple. The Congress party, represented by Pawan Khera, responded by asserting that the ruling BJP-led government is ignoring the substantive allegations and is instead concentrating on the FIR. Khera argued that the move reflects a broader pattern of the government overlooking financial irregularities.
The party framed the legal action as a tactic to suppress criticism of the donation issue. Details of the FIR and any subsequent proceedings were not provided. The incident adds to ongoing political tensions surrounding the temple funding debate.
Why it matters
It shows how political disputes over religious funding are translating into legal actions and partisan clashes in India.
