Senior Congress leader Pramod Tiwari on Sunday (July 12, 2026) alleged that the real culprits in the alleged donation embezzlement at the Ayodhya Ram temple are being protected by the administration and the government machinery and reiterated the demand for a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the matter.

“I have been a Minister in the Uttar Pradesh government since the 1980s, when the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) started the agitation over the issue (Ram Janmabhoomi movement). I have witnessed from the beginning how they cheated common Hindu devotees. When the temple was inaugurated in 2024, it was against the established Vedic scriptures and Hindu shastras, and the Shankaracharyas boycotted the ceremony. Now, the reality is coming out in public about how common people are being cheated in the name of faith,” said Mr. Tiwari, Deputy Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and a Congress MP.

“The eight individuals arrested are very small fish in this organised corruption nexus, which looted our holy temple. The real culprits are being protected by Delhi and the government machinery. I reiterate the demand for a Supreme Court-monitored inquiry in the Ayodhya issue,” he said.

Mr. Tiwari said when serious concerns are raised regarding the temple’s offerings, financial oversight, and administrative practices, citizens expect clarity, transparency, and accountability from the government.

“The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya stands as the ultimate symbol of the faith, devotion, and cultural consciousness of millions of Indians. In light of the serious allegations being made about the temple’s offerings, financial management, and administrative procedures, people expect clarity and accountability,” said the senior Congress leader.

BJP Trying To Destabilise Jharkhand Government: Congress Leader Pramod Tiwari

New Delhi:

Congress leader Pramod Tiwari has alleged that the BJP was trying to destabilize the Jharkhand government and alleged that the move concerning former state Chief Minister Champai Soren is a step in that direction.

“The Soren family is the one fighting for the welfare of the tribals and he (Hemant Soren) is the CM. The BJP sent him to jail. The High Court, while making a strong comment, granted him the bail. Because their eyes are on Jharkhand and they want to destabilize the government. That is why the elections of Jharkhand or Maharashtra have not been announced. They wanted to create disturbance there and by creating disturbance, they wanted to destabilize the government. Champai Soren is one step in that chain,” Mr Tiwari, MP, told ANI.

Champai Soren has decided to join the BJP and expressed his faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

He also took digs at BJP over the ‘Bengal Bandh’ call, saying party’s intention looked “something else”.

He said the CBI is probing the tragic rape and murder case concerning the Kolkota doctor and added that culprits should get maximum punishment.

“The way the BJP party workers occupied the railway track, the way they beat people and the police being attacked, this seems that the intention of the BJP is something else. So much violence is being done by the BJP people… The investigation is also being done by the CBI. So if there is any shortcoming, it is the CBI which is not able to do anything right now,” he said.

“The state government had investigated and handed over the accused. Now tell us what action is being taken, CBI should tell. The way BJP workers are disturbing the peace in the name of bandh is being shown in the channels. I condemn it,” he added.

BJP called for a ’12-hour Bengal Bandh’ after Kolkata police resorted to lathi-charge, the use of water cannons and tear gas against the protestors in the ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ rally.

The murder and alleged sexual assault of a female trainee doctor on August 9 at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital caused national outrage and many rallies have been held in different states of the country.
