Opposition MPs stage theatrical protest over Ram Temple donation scandal in Parliament

In an unusual display of protest, independent MP Pappu Yadav, dressed in saffron, led a group of opposition legislators in a symbolic skit inside the Parliament complex on Friday. The performance portrayed the alleged theft of donations meant for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, accusing authorities of misappropriation. Participants used the chamber’s floor as a makeshift stage, seeking to highlight the controversy and pressure the government for transparency.

The stunt occurred as the temple’s funding remains a contentious political topic. While the protest attracted media attention, parliamentary business was not reported to have been halted. Observers said the episode underscores the opposition’s willingness to employ unconventional tactics to spotlight perceived corruption.
