The Ram Janmbhoomi Trust has issued a factual report on the controversial land deal explaining the price difference of the plot of land in Ayodhya that has come under scrutiny.
The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has sent its report to the Centre, BJP and RSS, explaining the price difference. The Ram temple trust has said the charges are being concocted by BJP’s rivals.
In its statement, the Ram temple trust has said the plot of land is located next to the road approaching the Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir and is of premium value.
A war of words erupted between the BJP and the opposition parties on Monday over allegations of corruption in the purchase of land in Ayodhya by the Ram temple trust, with the Congress demanding a Supreme Court-monitored probe and the saffron party terming it as an attempt to “defame” and “derail” the temple construction.
The trust’s general secretary Champat Rai had dismissed the allegations as politically motivated and aimed at spreading disinformation.
