Congress called alleged irregularity in purchase of land a "big scam" and said because "the trust was established on the direction of the Supreme Court, the court should take cognisance of the issue".
The Congress on Monday demanded a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the matter of alleged irregularity in the purchase of land at Ayodhya by the Ram temple trust. Addressing a virtual press conference, Congress general secretary and party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala on Monday called the alleged irregularity in the purchase of land a "big scam" and said because "the trust was established on the direction of the Supreme Court, the court should take cognisance of the issue and investigate the matter." "The amount received as donations and expenses made by the trust should also be audited under the supervision of the Supreme Court," he added. However, he added that Congress does not want construction work of the proposed Ram temple to be halted.More Related News
