Digvijaya Singh to undertake padyatra from Mahakal temple to Ram Temple

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh has announced that he would undertake a 1000-km long padyatra (foot march) from the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, to raise the demand of setting of accountability of those responsible for the alleged theft of donations at the Ram Temple.

Singh said his padyatra would begin on October 2, the birth anniversary of the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi.

The former Congress Rajya Sabha Member stated that his foot march would be non-political, and he would not talk about the Congress party or use the social media during his walk.

Singh said on Friday that his aim is to fix accountability for all those responsible for the donation theft and ensure action is taken against them.

He informed that he had also donated a sum of Rs 1.11 lakh through a cheque for the Ram Temple. He stated that he still has the receipt of his donation and a copy of his cheque.

He said he is also planning to get a case registered in the court, seeking action against the people behind the misappropriation of the donations at the Ram Temple.

Digvijaya Singh averred that the responsibility for the incident lies upon the RSS and the VHP as well as those sitting in the highest positions of power in the country.

He said that devotees from across the country had donated funds in the name of Lord Ram, and their trust and faith must be upheld.

Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh Women Congress also organised a ‘Sadbuddhi Yagna’ in Bhopal to raise the issue of the alleged theft at the Ram Temple.
