Shiv Sena Seeks PM’s Intervention In Alleged Ayodhya Land Scam
Mumbai: The ruling Shiv Sena in Maharashtra has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene to ensure that the Ram temple construction in Ayodhya is not “stained by scams”.
Shiv Sena in its mouthpiece Saamana said the construction of the Ram Temple and the procedure behind it must remain transparent and honest.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday said the evidence that has come forth is shocking.”
He asked Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, the trust and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to clarify their position on this.
“The construction of Ram temple and the process behind it should be transparent and honest. While it was expected that there would be no such incident that would hurt the faith of Ram devotees, a dubious land deal came to the fore. Whether this is true or not must be clarified at the earliest. The work on the Ram temple is a matter of national pride… if there is a blot of scam then Prime Minister Modi and RSS chief Bhagwat will have to intervene,” the editorial said.
This comes after, former Samajwadi Party MLA Tej Narayan Pandey and Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh have alleged that a plot sold for ₹2 crore by two people on March 18 by the trust that oversees the construction of the temple was 10 minutes later for ₹18.5 crores.
The Trust on Monday said the land was purchased at rates lower than market prices while refuting the allegations of corruption and dismissing demands for a probe into the land deal.
