Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) International President Alok Kumar, in a letter to the investigation officer of the Ram Temple embezzlement case, has demanded a probe into the allegations made by several Opposition leaders.

In the letter, Kumar highlighted the the allegations made by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, party leader Sanjay Singh and Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Ram Gopal Yadav, regarding the alleged misappropriation of donations and offerings, seeking a thorough investigation, IANS reported.

Quoting Priyanka Gandhi’s allegations, he wrote: “This question is also important: whether small employees can single-handedly turn off CCTV and misappropriate donations worth thousands of crores, or is there collusion of some big people behind this?”

Talking about Arvind Kejriwal, Kumar wrote that the former Delhi Chief Minister levelled serious charges that Lord Ram’s necklace, Charan Padukas, diamonds, jewellery, silver bricks, silver lamps and a huge amount of cash were stolen.

“He claimed that if an impartial investigation is conducted, the government may fall,” the VHP chief wrote.

He even mentioned how Ram Gopal Yadav claimed that a huge scam of about ₹20,000 crore has taken place in the Ram Temple.

“AAP MP Sanjay Singh also spoke openly about the theft of more than ₹200 crore and accused more than 50 employees of being involved in it. Singh has reportedly appeared before the SIT and has given some documents regarding his allegation of the purchase of lands at inflated prices,” Kumar said.

He has demanded action against the Opposition leaders if the allegations are found to be false.

“If it is found that knowingly false or reckless allegations have been made without any supporting basis, the Investigating Agency may consider taking such action as may be permissible in law. Nobody can be permitted to make wild allegations that tend to create and promote feelings of hatred, ill will and enmity and get away with it,” he mentioned in the letter.
