  Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE: SP MP asks what is wrong with asking home minister's statement

  On the Parliament deadlock, Samajwadi Party MP Rajiv Rai told news agency PTI, "This is exactly what the government wants. The government does not believe in democracy or in respecting Parliament. That is why the Prime Minister and the Home Minister do not come to the House. Even journalists must be hoping that the Prime Minister or the Home Minister says something so it can be reported. What are we asking for? The very issue on which they built their politics and came to power, if there has been theft and loot in the temple for years, why are they running away from a discussion on it? You ordered lathi charges and the use of pellet guns against our students, and their clothes were torn. We only want the government to make a statement explaining why it did so. What is wrong with that?"

  Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE: Sanjay Raut hits back at Kiren Rijiju over 'anti-Ram' charge

  Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday defended the Opposition's criticism over the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram Temple, saying questioning the alleged theft of donations and valuables should not be construed as being "anti-Ram."

  His remarks came after Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju accused the Opposition of being anti-Lord Ram for repeatedly raising the issue in Parliament.

  Rejecting the charge, Raut said the Opposition was questioning the alleged theft, not Lord Ram. “There was theft in the Ram Temple. Is Lord Ram responsible for that? We raised our voice against the theft, and now we are being called anti-Ram.”

  "What kind of Hindutva is this? Money was stolen, donation boxes were looted, even ornaments and Sita Mata's mangalsutra were reportedly stolen. We raised these issues, and now we are labelled anti-Ram. Meanwhile, those responsible for the theft are being projected as Ram devotees," he said.
