Ram Mandir Land Purchase: Experts May Be Roped in For Future Deals As Pressure Grows for Probe into Oppn Charges

News 18  

Pressure has grown for an inquiry into the land purchase ‘scam’ in Ayodhya that was exposed by the Opposition, with saints who were not accommodated in the trust questioning the transaction. But the land deal seems to have been handled mainly by the secretary of the trust and VHP leader Champat Rai and member Anil Mishra. Saints Oppose the Trust What is however further complicating matters for the trust is that prominent saints of Ayodhya like chief priest of the Ram Janambhoomi Temple Satyendra Das, Hanumangarhi’s priest Raju Das and Swami Swaroopanand are questioning the deal. Mahant Dharam Das of the Nirwani Akhara, who was one of the litigants in the Ram Temple case in the Supreme Court, has termed the trust as “corrupt” while Swami Avimukteshwarnand of the Ramalya Trust has asked for a probe and the removal of Champat Rai and Anil Mishra from the trust till then.
