LUCKNOW, July 11 -- Congress MP Deepender Hooda on Friday demanded that the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust be dissolved and reconstituted with religious leaders, eminent citizens, administrative experts and independent members to ensure transparency and accountability. Addressing a press conference here, the Congress MP from Rohtak, accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai, questioned the recent changes in the trust's leadership. "If nothing was wrong, why were the resignations of Champat Rai and Anil Mishra accepted? If nothing improper has taken place, why is the government afraid of an independent investigation under the supervision of the Supreme Court?" Hooda asked. Claiming that the issue went beyond an administrative lapse, Hooda said the acceptance of the resignations of Champat Rai and Anil Mishra indicated a "major scandal". He also referred to public statements made by the trust's treasurer, Govind Dev Giri, saying that as the person responsible for financial oversight, transparency and safeguarding the trust's assets, his remarks raised further questions. "For nearly three decades, the BJP, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, and the Sangh Parivar mobilised donations and built their political fortunes on this movement. Today, the same millions of devotees are compelled to ask who looted the donations, and under whose protection did it happen?" Hooda said. "Lord Ram is the embodiment of the faith of millions of Indians. Any attempt to loot the money collected in his name, and then cover it up, is an insult to the religious conscience of the nation," he said. Ajay Rai said, "The Union government cannot absolve itself of the responsibility. The PM should also speak on the issue of donations."...
