Wait for 15 days for the truth,guilty will not be spared: Yogi
Lucknow, June 20 -- Speaking about the allegations of embezzlement of Ram temple donation money for the first time, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday sought to blunt the Opposition's attack on the issue and indicated the Special Investigation Team has a free hand to conduct the ongoing probe, assuring that no guilty person will be spared, irrespective of who they may be.
He also urged people to hand over any documentary proof related to the allegations to the probe team, asserting that the truth will emerge in 15 days.
Adityanath was addressing a gathering at Rudauli tehsil in Ayodhya district after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone for 126 development projects worth over Rs 378 crore, including the Government Ayurvedic College and Hospital in Rudauli assembly constituency. on Friday. "After we learned from newspapers about the Ayodhya incident, the SIT was constituted on the Trust's request. It will bring out the truth and there is no doubt about it," he said.
Taking a firm stand, he said, "Until the SIT's report comes, no statements should be made that hurt the sentiments of Ram devotees. If anyone has any documentary proof (related to the donation row), submit it to the SIT."
"I assure you that no guilty will be spared," he said.
Urging people to have patience, he also said: " Our ancestors struggled for 500 years with dignity for Lord Ram's temple; please wait for 15 more days. If anyone is guilty, it is certain that whoever it may be, they will not be spared."

Targeting the Samajwadi Party in particular, the chief minister stated that those who fired (gun shots) on Ram devotees, raised questions on Ram's existence, placed advocates in court to stall Ram Mandir's construction, insulted Ram devotees and offered fateha at mafia graves should stop preaching.
"Until the SIT's report comes, refrain from making statements, as it influences the investigation. After the probe, if any side has something to say, the SIT will be ready, but do not attempt character assassination or make vile attempts to defame Ayodhya," he said.
Hitting out at SP president Akhilesh Yadav, the chief minister said he has not yet visited Ram Mandir and stopped his MLAs from going to Ayodhya.
"When current Uttar Pradesh minister Manoj Pandey, then an SP MLA, proposed that all (SP) MLAs should go to Ayodhya for darshan, we accepted it, but Akhilesh Yadav did not allow them," Adityanath said.
"His (Akhilesh Yadav) devotion is not towards Ram. They are people who worship Babur," Adityanath said. Exposing what he claimed were the double standards of the SP and Congress, the CM said the Congress tried its utmost to ensure the Ram temple was not built....
