'Gravest sin': Priyanka Gandhi says Ram Temple donation fraud has 'stunned entire nation'

'Gravest sin': Priyanka Gandhi says Ram Temple donation fraud has 'stunned entire nation' Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has called for a transparent investigation into the alleged irregularities in donations at the Ram Temple, saying those responsible must face strict punishment if found guilty. In a post on X, Priyanka Gandhi alleged that the reported theft and misappropriation of temple offerings had shaken the faith of millions of devotees and described it as an act against the ideals represented by Lord Ram. “Those who have stolen from the Ram Temple have committed the gravest sin of shattering the fundamental spirit of religion and faith,” she wrote. Questions role of authorities The Congress leader questioned whether such alleged irregularities could have been carried out solely by lower-level employees. “This question is also crucial: Can mere low-level employees, on their own, turn off CCTV cameras and tamper with thousands of crores in offerings, or is there complicity of some big players behind it?” she wrote.
