Chandigarh, June 27, 2026:-Today, during the arrival of Chandigarh Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria for the Special House Meeting, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Chandigarh staged a strong protest outside the Municipal Corporation building in Sector 17 over the alleged theft involving offerings worth crores of rupees at Lord Shri Ram's temple in Ayodhya.
During the protest, AAP Chandigarh stated that the alleged theft of devotees' offerings at the Ayodhya Ram Temple has deeply hurt the faith and sentiments of millions of Ram devotees across the country. Questions raised regarding jewellery, cash, and other donations offered with devotion and trust at the feet of Lord Shri Ram have caused anguish among devotees nationwide.
The party stated that the so-called "Ayodhya Model," which was promoted across the country for years, is now facing serious questions over alleged irregularities related to construction works, land purchases, offerings, and other matters. If the government is genuinely committed to fighting corruption, it should ensure a fair, independent, and time-bound investigation into the entire matter rather than limiting itself to merely formal actions.
AAP alleged that if investigations and action in such a serious matter are confined only to lower-level employees, it creates the perception that those actually responsible are being protected. If accountability extends to higher levels, then no individual should be considered above the law.
AAP Chandigarh questioned Chandigarh Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria and the BJP, asking that if even the offerings made by devotees at Lord Shri Ram's temple in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh are not safe, then who will take responsibility for safeguarding the faith and trust of millions of Ram devotees? The party further asked whether this is the same so-called "Ayodhya Model" that was projected for years as a symbol of good governance, transparency, and honest administration.
The party stated that Lord Shri Ram does not belong to any one political party. Shri Ram is a symbol of faith, culture, and belief for millions of people, and in any matter concerning devotees' faith, the truth must come out and action must be taken against those found guilty.
During the protest, AAP also alleged that the BJP and the administration used the police to suppress public sentiments and opposition voices being raised on this issue. According to the party, AAP leaders and workers who were peacefully and democratically protesting were detained by the police and taken to Sector 39 Police Station.
The party stated that raising the voice of the people is both the right and responsibility of the opposition in a democracy, but instead of answering questions, the BJP is using the police and administrative machinery to suppress dissenting voices.
AAP Chandigarh made it clear that it will not be intimidated by detention, pressure, or politics of suppression. The party will continue to strongly raise issues related to corruption, irregularities, and matters concerning public faith, and will continue its struggle as the voice of the people through democratic means.
"Those who do politics in the name of Ram will have to answer the questions related to the faith of Ram devotees."
