KANPUR, July 9 -- Attacking the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress over the Ram temple donation controversy, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said after action had been taken against those responsible, there was no justification for defaming the entire Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust for the wrongdoing of a "handful" of individuals. He alleged the Samajwadi Party and the Congress were trying to malign Ayodhya and insult the legacy of Lord Ram over the case. Referring to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe, the chief minister said six people had been found involved in misappropriating donations and two others in the conspiracy, noting that an FIR had already been registered. Questioning the Opposition's criticism, Adityanath said, "When action has been taken against the accused, what is the justification for defaming the entire Trust, questioning Ayodhya and insulting the legacy of Lord Ram? It appears the Congress and the Samajwadi Party have taken a contract to attack India's faith." He was addressing a public meeting in Chitrakoot where he laid the foundation stone for and inaugurated development projects worth Rs 950 crore. The chief minister said the Trust itself informed the government that it had received inputs about alleged theft during the counting of donations and requested the constitution of a high-level SIT. He said the alleged wrongdoing involved only a handful of individuals. "We accepted the Trust's recommendation and constituted a high-level SIT," he said. Adityanath also said those who had "lathi-charged and opened fire on Ram devotees" had no moral authority to speak about Ayodhya. The chief minister also targeted the Congress over its stand in the Ram Setu case. "Recall the time when the Congress-led government was in power at the Centre and sought to demolish Ram Setu. In the Supreme Court, it filed an affidavit stating that Lord Ram was imaginary. It felt no shame in making such a claim about Lord Ram and Lord Krishna," he said....
