India, July 19 -- Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and LoP is Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding an independent investigation into the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ayodhya Ram temple and questioning his silence on the matter.

In a joint letter, LoPs said devotees who had contributed to the temple with faith and devotion deserved answers and accountability.

The demand comes weeks after allegations of theft of donations offered at the temple surfaced, triggering a police investigation that has so far resulted in eight arrests and the resignation of two senior functionaries of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.
