SP, AAP demand probe into land deal by Ram Mandir Trust
The Hindu
They allege land was purchased, registered and sold again within 5-10 mins for an inflated price
The Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday accused the trust set up to build a Ram Mandir in Ayodhya of financial corruption worth crores of rupees in the purchase of a piece of land for the temple project. They demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate. Trust general secretary Champat Rai said they would “study the matter” as he brushed aside the allegations. Holding separate press conferences, former SP MLA from Ayodhya Pawan Pandey and AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh alleged that the land, valued at ₹5.8 crore had been purchased and registered by two local businessmen for ₹2 crore on March 18 at around 7.10 p.m., but within 5-10 minutes of that, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra purchased the land for an appreciated rate of ₹18.5 crore.
