Showdown in Parliament over Ram Mandir Donation Theft: Opposition Protests, Government Hits Back

A fierce political clash erupted in Parliament once again over the issue of the theft of donations meant for the Ram Mandir. Opposition leaders, including Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, staged a protest in the Parliament complex—placing a donation box in front of the ‘Makar Dwar’—and raised slogans against the government. Meanwhile, in the Rajya Sabha, Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge raised the issue of the donation theft; in response, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju launched a scathing counter-attack, demanding an apology from the Congress for insulting Lord Ram. The proceedings of the House had to be adjourned due to the heated debate and uproar between the ruling party and the opposition.
