From that very Ram Temple, donations worth crores of rupees have been stolen, yet not a single FIR has been filed. Whom is the government protecting? No matter how big the people involved in this sin may be, throw them straight into jail. Protecting the faith of crores of people is essential.” Kejriwal X postIn an accompanying video message, the former Delhi chief minister alleged that cash and valuables donated to the Ram Temple had been stolen and questioned the absence of action by investigative agencies.”Hundreds of millions of rupees in donations have been stolen from Ayodhya’s Ram Temple. It is being said that cash worth about 200 crore rupees has been stolen. And many boxes of diamonds and jewellery have been stolen. And not even one FIR has been filed. Neither UP Police filed an FIR, nor ED filed any FIR, nor CBI filed any FIR,” Kejriwal wrote.”They (BJP) have governments in both the Centre and UP. No raid, no arrest. They say very big names are involved. If action is taken, the government may also fall. In your opinion, who is more important to save? The government or the faith of hundreds of millions of people?” he added.Kejriwal’s remarks come amid an ongoing probe into allegations related to Ram Mandir donations.
