UP Deputy CM Hits Back At Akhilesh Over Ram Mandir Row

In a sharp response to the Ayodhya Ram Mandir donation controversy, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak targeted Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday. The controversy surrounds allegations of misconduct in donations to the Ram Mandir Trust.

Pathak alleged that the SP and Congress parties lack the courage to question misconduct in madrasas, instead indulging in appeasement and vote bank politics. He stated that the government will not spare any guilty person and that an SIT inquiry is underway into the matter.

The Deputy Chief Minister praised the action taken by the Ram Mandir Trust and emphasized the government's commitment to taking the flag of Sanatan culture to a higher pinnacle. He launched a sharp attack on opposition parties, accusing them of politicizing the donation row while never questioning donations or misconduct related to Muslim institutions, mosques, or madrasas.

Pathak underlined the government's priority of maintaining law and order, noting that the Ram Mandir Trust has lodged an FIR and the government is ensuring action is taken in accordance with the law. The SIT investigation into the Ram Mandir donation matter is ongoing, with the government committed to ensuring no guilty person escapes and that strict action is taken.

The controversy has sparked a heated debate between the ruling party and the opposition, with each side accusing the other of politicizing the issue. The UP government has maintained that it will take strict action against anyone found guilty of misconduct in the donation row.

The Ram Mandir Trust has taken major action in the matter, and the government has assured that it will cooperate fully with the investigation. The opposition parties, however, continue to raise questions over the donations, alleging that the government is trying to cover up the misconduct.

The issue is likely to continue to be a point of contention between the ruling party and the opposition, with each side trying to gain the upper hand in the debate. The government's commitment to maintaining law and order and taking action against guilty persons will be closely watched in the coming days.
