00:03Good evening, you're watching India First, I'm Gaurav Sawant.
00:06Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has challenged the Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Jadav
00:12to openly speak up for the liberation of the Sri Krishna Janma Bhumi at Mathura.
00:19Now in the line of opposition fire for the Branesian theft at the Sri Ram Janma Bhumi temple at Ayodhya,
00:25the BJP is attempting to take the battle right back into the opposition camp,
00:30asking them to prove their credentials of speaking up for Hindus on this very critical issue,
00:37raising the question of the liberation of the Sri Krishna Janma Bhumi temple at Mathura.
00:43The opposition very clearly is not even seeding an inch.
00:47The opposition has launched an equally ferocious counterattack on the Bharatiya Janma Party.
00:53The Samajwadi Party says the BJP and the Sangh Parivar want a Sri Krishna Janma Bhumi temple
01:00so that they'll form a trust and then the trust will resort to the same donation theft like in Ayodhya.
01:08And this is where the battle of the narratives gets right down, personal and bitter.
01:16The BJP is accusing the Samajwadi Party of blatant Muslim appeasement politics,
01:20the opposition saying even Mehmood of Ghazni had looted temples in India only 17 times.
01:27But the Chanda Chors at Ayodhya looted the temple more than 70 times in less than 45 days.
01:34So let me quickly get to the latest developments in investigations first.
01:39At the Sri Ram Janma Bhumi case, the eight accused in this case, the eight who've been arrested so far,
01:45they've now been remanded to 14 days in judicial custody.
01:49Not police custody for interrogation, but judicial custody for now.
01:53The Ayodhya Bar Association, and this is very significant.
01:57The Bar Association of Ayodhya, the lawyers at Ayodhya, across Ayodhya,
02:02they've announced that none of its members will represent the accused in court.
02:06They've called this theft a betrayal of faith of crores of Shriram devotees across the world.
02:15The investigation now is focusing on two key accused in this case, at least as of now.
02:21Of course, some bank employees are also under the scanner,
02:24but the two key accused, Anukalp Mishra and his brother-in-law, Lavkush Mishra.
02:30Reports indicate Anukalp Mishra apparently bought a sprawling farmhouse in his native village.
02:39He also purchased a house in Ayodhya just last year.
02:43This house in Ayodhya was worth around 65 lakh rupees, according to initial assessment.
02:49Reports also indicate that he owned a motorcycle, but was trying to purchase a Mahindra Scorpio SUV.
02:55This was an attempt just before his arrest.
02:58And now the police want to know his known sources of income.
03:02How could he afford a farmhouse, a house in Ayodhya,
03:06and a Scorpio vehicle that he was attempting to buy apart from this motorcycle, which he recently bought.
03:12Financial transactions and accounts of his brother-in-law are also under the scanner.
03:16India today has learned that the other accused, Lavkush Mishra and his wife,
03:21they allegedly purchased some property using money suspected to have been siphoned off from temple donations.
03:27But perhaps the more serious question that's now being asked is of the Shri Ram Mandir Trust itself.
03:34Sources tell India today that members of the temple management, the Shri Ram Janmabhumi Teerth Kshetra Trust, the Nyas,
03:44they were allegedly aware of funds being siphoned off as early as the 4th of June.
03:50But the very next day, 5th of June, acting on the instructions of the General Secretary of the Trust, Champat
03:57Rai,
03:58whose statement has since been recorded,
04:01Trust representatives accompanied by local police reportedly,
04:04and we are showing you those images of the 5th of June,
04:06They reportedly searched the houses of Avinash Shukla and recovered close to 58 lakhs in cash.
04:17Sources say the remaining amount of money was returned through bank transfers subsequently.
04:23Champat Rai, who stepped down, apparently under pressure, after the controversy escalated,
04:29was questioned by the police and he submitted a statement.
04:33Sources say the other former trustee and very senior trustee, Anil Mishra,
04:39he is likely to be questioned and he is likely to submit a statement in writing.
04:44The special investigation team is now examining whether the conspiracy was confined to those who have been taken into custody
04:51or whether this was a grand theft at a much larger scale
04:56and did top officials of the trust have prior knowledge
05:00or did they play a larger role in what ultimately led to the cheating of crores of Shriram bhakts across
05:10the world.
05:11India Today's Santosh is on ground zero.
05:14He sent us this report from Ayodhya.
05:29It is the biggest assault on Aastha.
05:32A betrayal of the faith of lakhs and crores of Ram bhakts.
05:36After days of outrage and mounting political heat,
05:40accountability is finally being fixed in the Ram Mandir Chandachori case.
05:45All eight arrested accused have been remanded to an additional 14 days of judicial custody
05:50and the fallout has already begun.
05:53The Ayodhya Bar Association has resolved that none of the accused will receive legal representation from its members.
06:00SIT Janchkiwaal bade abhiuktu ko bachane ke liye kia gaya hai.
06:04Sadhan ne aaj nirnai liya ki joh bhi abhiuktu baneye gaya hai,
06:07hum log unke pach mein pehri bhi nahi kareenge, unke khilaab pehri bhi kareenge,
06:11unke sajah dilane ke liye kareenge.
06:13Aur hum log CBI jaanj ki bhi maang kareenge,
06:16jis ke liye rashpati pradhan mantri ko aur bhi jaha bhi lagayega,
06:19waha patr likha jayega.
06:20Jarurat parnane par hum log manio chinyale mein,
06:23supreme court mein bhi rita khil kareenge.
06:26The spotlight is now firmly on one of the accused,
06:31Lovkush Mishra.
06:32India today has learned that he and his wife purchased a property worth nearly 9 lakh rupees,
06:38allegedly using money siphoned off from Ram Mandir donations.
06:42Ram Mandir donation theft accused,
06:45Lovkush Mishra, who was salaried of 12,000 to 15,000 per month,
06:49got a valuable property in Ayodhya, 8 lakh 80,000.
06:55This is the documented value which has been declared by the government documents on March 2026.
07:04This land is registered on the name of Lovkush Mishra wife, Supriya Mishra.
07:12But an even bigger question is now surfacing.
07:15Did the Ram Mandir trust know about the alleged theft well before it became public and chose to remain silent?
07:24According to sources, certain members of the temple management became aware of the alleged theft on the 4th of June.
07:31A day later, on the 5th of June,
07:34trust representatives accompanied by police officials searched the house of accused Raveena Shukla,
07:39where nearly 58 lakh rupees was allegedly recovered.
07:43This was all done on Champath Rave's instructions.
07:46Between June 5th and June 8th,
07:48the remaining amount was allegedly returned by the accused through bank transfers.
07:52Yet it was only on June 7th that allegations of the donation theft entered the public domain.
08:00What raises even more questions is that the FII was registered only on 25th of June,
08:05almost three weeks after the trust allegedly first became aware of the theft.
08:12Champath Rai, who stepped down as General Secretary of the Ram Mandir Trust after the controversy escalated,
08:17was questioned by the police today.
08:20Sources say the statement of former trustee Anil Mishra will also be recorded soon.
08:24The Ayodhya Vahar Association is now demanding action against both of them as well.
08:29Whether it is Champath Rai, or Nil Mishra, or Gopal Rao,
08:32if Shasana and Prashasana are willing to save them from somewhere else,
08:37we will prepare them for the sake of the law.
08:39We will go to the law and bring them to the law.
08:42We will bring them to the law and bring them to the law.
08:42We will bring them to the law and bring them to the law and to the law and to the
08:45law and to the law and to the law and to the law.
08:49As the SIT probe gathers space, more layers of the alleged donation theft are beginning to unravel.
08:56But the biggest question remains unanswered.
08:59Who masterminded this betrayal of devotees' faith?
09:01And did the conspiracy extend to influential figures within the trust?
09:06With Santosh from Ayodhya, Bureau Report, India Today.
09:13Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has challenged Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav
09:18to openly support the movement to liberate the Shri Krishna Jan Bhoomi at Mathura,
09:24similar to the Shri Ram Jan Bhoomi campaign at Ayodhya.
09:27Addressing a public rally in Hathras, Yogi Adityanath accused the opposition of lacking the courage
09:33to take a clear stance on the restoration, on the liberation of the Shri Krishna Jan Bhoomi.
09:41He accused the opposition, especially the Samajwadi Party, of indulging in Muslim appeasement politics,
09:48saying words to the effect that they lack courage to speak up for Sanatanaastha or Hinduastha.
09:56Listen in.
10:19The Shri Krishna Jan Bhoomi

11:41and open up
11:42and open up

11:50The battle lines are very clearly drawn
11:52from Yogi Adityanath challenging
11:54the opposition to take up the cause
11:55of the liberation of the Shri Krishna Jan Bhoomi
11:58at Mathura if they
11:59truly have faith in the Sanatan
12:01Dharma. To the Samajwadi party hitting back
12:03saying custodians of the trust
12:05looted the temple more
12:07than Mehmood of Ghazni.
12:09So is this battle set to escalate
12:11in the run up to elections in Uttar Pradesh?
12:14Joining me on India First, Rohan Gupta
12:16representing the Bharatiya Janata party
12:18Bhavya Narasimha Murthy
12:19represents the Congress
12:21Pradeep Bharti
12:21is the spokesperson of the Samajwadi party
12:24Dr. Vikram Singh, former director
12:26general of Uttar Pradesh police
12:27joins us to tell us more about
12:29how investigations are proceeding
12:32Rohan Gupta, if Hindutva
12:35was BJP's Trump card
12:37the opposition is hitting you
12:39on the Hindu dharma pitch
12:41how would you respond to Samajwadi
12:43party saying Mehmood of Ghazni
12:45looted Hindu temple 17 times in raids
12:48but the trust
12:49oversaw loot
12:5170 times in under 47 days
12:53sir. Even
12:55even giving you examples also
12:57they can't forget their
12:58appeasement politics. See there are
12:59these debates are going on for
13:01last 2-3 days. 2-3 things I want
13:03to make it very clear. Number one
13:05there is absolutely no denial that
13:07something big blunderous has happened
13:09in the as far as the Ram
13:11Mandir trust has happened
13:12and we are not hiding that
13:15the inquiry has been set up
13:17the culprits will not be
13:19tolerated they will everybody
13:21whoever it is crocodile or
13:24everybody will be
13:25behind the bus
13:27nobody of BJP or RSS office
13:30bearer is directly involved in this
13:32number one. Number two the question
13:34comes on opposition party that
13:35the people who never accepted
13:38the existence of Lord Ram
13:39they never went to the temple
13:41they are asking us the question
13:42what I am telling trying to tell
13:44you nobody can question
13:46intention of BJP or BJP government
13:48as far as what is going on
13:50as far as the culprits will be
13:52coming out absolutely nobody can
13:53question that. Number three it's
13:55very important for us when people
13:57trust us this is the
13:58ideological issue for us we set
14:00the example in such a way that
14:01across the country nobody even
14:03in future can dare to do
14:05politics or can dare to do
14:06this kind of things in any
14:08temple across India. So
14:10obviously there is no reason
14:11for us to hide the people
14:12behind it. We are not like
14:13congress party in Sabri Mala.
14:15You are saying?
14:16Yeah.
14:17Okay.
14:17Give me 30 seconds.
14:18I will give one small
14:19example. In Sabri Mala when
14:21SIT was formed Mr.
14:22the only Christian party he was
14:25found at Sonia Gandhi's house
14:26is one of the Congress leaders
14:28and SIT has been formed in
14:29February 2026 where CPM
14:32question Congress party on
14:33their involvement in Sabri Mala
14:35gold theft case. No words
14:37nothing because it is a
14:38Kerala it is not BJP rule state.
14:40My point is very simple.
14:41Let me get Bhavya Narsimha
14:43Murthy to respond. BJP accuses
14:45the Congress of being
14:46Chinavi Hindu or Hindus just
14:48ahead of elections. You heard
14:50the BJP spokesperson saying
14:52those who didn't even recognize
14:53the existence of Lord Ram are
14:56talking about the Ram temple
14:58today. How would you respond to
14:59the question that has been
15:01raised also on the Sabri Mala
15:03theft and the alleged silence. BJP
15:05says total silence on Sabri Mala
15:07gold theft. Ma'am sorry I think you're
15:14going to request you to unmute
15:15yourself. You know how BJP rooms
15:21around giving certificates of
15:23Hinduism to people only those who
15:26agree with BJP as Hindus and those
15:29who do not or oppose BJP as non
15:31Hindus or anti nationals. This is
15:33not new to us. The way Rohan Gupta
15:36actually said that you know those who
15:39did not go to temple or those who
15:42questioned all this are asking us
15:44question now. Aren't you shame?
15:46Don't you have any shame at all?
15:48Under your leadership Lord Rama has
15:53been looted literally and all this
15:57love Kush Mishra or Ram Shankar Yadav
15:59they are all the ones who have eaten
16:01the crumbs. The majority of the pie
16:03the bigger portion has been eaten by
16:06I'm sure the trustees or the
16:08administration or the official whom
16:09you people are covering and for you
16:11to say we are not hiding anything. You
16:15cannot hide anything anymore. You
16:18have touched you have hurt the
16:20emotional religious feeling of
16:24people. If you think if you are in a
16:26in any of that if you think you can
16:29hide all of this no this is the end
16:31for your religious hate politics
16:33after doing this and the worst part
16:35is how shameless is BJP people are
16:37how shameless Yogi Adityanath is that
16:40he is after looting Lord Rama he is
16:42after loot now he wants to loot
16:43Krishna also in the name of Lord
16:45Krishna. Ask him to first you know
16:49under his administration such a big
16:52scam is happening you are just
16:54saying the loot has happened in
16:56lax. We are very sure it's in
16:59the loot. We are crows together and
17:01these people are just made the
17:03goats. Wait a minute let me come to
17:07that. That was under CPI ruling.
17:10Congress came to power this year.
17:13Where are you even what are you even
17:14talking? All this while CPI was in
17:20Kerala. Congress came to power only now
17:22you are not answering the question.
17:23Rohan Gupta you are not answering the
17:26question. If you think that person was
17:28found inside the house of Sonia Gandhi
17:30with your leader. He was found with your
17:32leader. Adur Prakash can be covered up
17:35only Krishna Prakash was found with
17:37Adur Prakash in the residence of
17:40Sonia Gandhi. Can you answer that?
17:42It is not about where government is.
17:46You tell me why Mr. Adur Prakash took
17:48Krishna Prakash to Sonia Gandhi's house.
17:50He was the culprit in Sabri Mala case.
17:53It's not about the question. Are you
17:55believing Rama? Do you believe in
17:57the ideology of Lord Rama? Why Rahul
17:58Gandhi is not born for us to Ram
18:00temple? You tell me. Do you believe in
18:02Ram temple? Do you believe Ram temple
18:04is there? Do you believe Ram temple
18:05exists? Then why Rahul Gandhi is not
18:07born? You tell me. You tell me why
18:09Mr. Rahul Gandhi is not born for
18:10two years. You are playing
18:11politician reform. Lord Ram,
18:15shamelessly Congress party is exposing
18:16Denzel. What is your ideology?
18:18Absolutely no ideology. Can I speak?
18:20You tell me why Mr. Rahul Gandhi is not
18:22going to Ram temple once in the last
18:24two years. Can you answer that? I will
18:26answer all your questions. Just because
18:27he hasn't visited that temple. You
18:28tell me why Rahul Gandhi or Sonia
18:31leader is not going to Ram temple. Why?
18:34Just give me 30 seconds. Give me 30 seconds.
18:37One by one. One by one. Let me quickly
18:40bring in. Okay. Okay. One by one. One by one.
18:42No point everyone speaking, you know, on
18:45top of each other. Just one by one state your
18:48points. But Pradeep Bharti merit in Yogi
18:50Adityanath challenging Akhilesh to say if
18:53you are actually, if you believe in Sanatan
18:55Dhan, then take up the cause of Shri
18:58Krishna Jan Bhoomi at Mathura. Will
19:00Samajwadi party seek the construction of a
19:03grand Shri Krishna temple at Mathura, sir?
19:06Thank you, Gaurav, and good evening to
19:08all. Let's start from basic. And for BJP,
19:12basic is very much important and required.
19:14I'll start with one of our chaupai in
19:16Ram Chahit Manas.
19:21Those who are hypocrites, deceitful and
19:24disguiseful themselves as saints, and deceive
19:26others, their lies and reality is exposed
19:29one day. And the day has come. The deception
19:32and the drama has, has over now. Where BJP has
19:37reached from Gorakpur to Gorakhdhanda, BJP
19:39are looking for new places to loot. Now
19:41coming to what you are saying, referring to,
19:44they are finding new places to loot, to
19:46scam, to thap. My leader is making new
19:49Kedashwar Mandir temple. With the Lord
19:53Krishna's blessing, Honorable Akhilesha
19:55expose this Ram temple robbery. Even, it's not
20:01robbery, it's Rekhauti. With the BJP and BJP
20:04affiliates. Hundreds of temples have been
20:06demolished in Varansi. You are talking
20:08about new temple. New hundred temples. Even
20:10Oranget did not reach that height in ten
20:12years. What Mr. Yogi has done. Now this
20:16Karl name is, want to loot people, vote again
20:20by playing the emotional card on the temple
20:22politics. But the Shangacharya, the highest
20:24prosecutor of our Sanatadam, expose Mr. Yogi
20:29and BJP completely. I am amazed at the
20:32audacity of CM Yogi ji. He is still
20:35positioning himself as a flat bearer of
20:37temples by getting exposed multiple times
20:39on the recent time. And coming to the
20:41loot on the Ram temple, who will decide
20:45that loot has happened. Whether these people
20:47who were accused will decide. All these people
20:50who are investigating are also the, are also
20:54there in the trust. Their names are in the
20:56trust. Very interesting question.
20:57Whether the UB government officer and also
20:59the central government. And third point, the
21:01important point which Rohan Gupta raised, who
21:04has visited these temples? Let me ask Mr. Rohan,
21:09any of the Sangacharya, out of these four
21:11Sangacharya, anyone visited Ram temple? Has anyone
21:16was being invited even in the prance ceremony? So
21:21this, these kind of, are, are, are greatest, are, are
21:25more respectable. Shandacharya are not invited. And
21:29you are asking for our dates. We have already
21:31given dates. Rohan Gupta wants to respond. But
21:33before I come to Rohan Gupta, I want to bring in
21:35Dr. Vikram Singh into this conversation. Dr. Vikram
21:38Singh, the trust in the trust, Dr. Vikram Singh, the trust in the
21:44trust lies shattered. Reports suggest that the trust was
21:48informed about the theft of donations. They
21:51apparently tried to retrieve the money. Bank wanted to
21:55sack those involved. Reports said that the trust prevailed
21:58upon them. Does this not smack of organized loot, sir? If
22:03the trust knew something was irregular, they should have
22:06immediately gone to the Shriram Janbhumi police station and
22:09registered NFIR.
22:11Good evening, Gaurav Ji and fellow panelists. I would say
22:14that you are absolutely, you have hit the nail on the
22:17head. And without digressing from the topic, I would say
22:19that this mess was going on since 5th of June and even a
22:23little before that. When they realized that the money has
22:26been defalcated, they tried to recover it themselves with
22:29the help of the local police. And then there was a recovery
22:31of around 80 lakhs. It could have been much more. But
22:34message number one, that they should have registered a case
22:37then and there, prepared a recovery memo and ensured that
22:40all the searches were done with a videography and in the
22:43presence of a minister. Nothing like this. Then to top it
22:46all, what happened was, Gaurav Ji, that an FIR should have
22:49been registered immediately. Rather than create an SIT who
22:53wasted the time for a good 13 days, 13 June onward, they
22:56wasted precious time. When you say you incorporate the
22:59sections of a gang, of an organized gang, common intent that
23:04used to be 120B of the old Indian IPC and also common intent
23:09as suspected receiver of stolen property, then all the
23:12ingredients of crime are there. And you can imagine, don't
23:15think for a moment that they would be sitting idle for 13 days.
23:18They were working over time to conceal the roof, to get
23:22legal assistance, to also get the receivers of stolen property
23:26and to impress upon them that they will be looked after. And
23:30the mess that they created themselves, they have done
23:32irreparable damage to the credibility part, as also to the
23:35fact that they have done irreparable damage to not only
23:38their own credibility, but also the faith of the people.
23:41Therefore, the police were job attacked. And the police
23:43can be faulted also for not taking each and every person on
23:47remand. They should have been taken on remand, subjected to
23:50lie detector test and polygraph test and even more than that.
23:53Absolutely. You know, right from step one, Rohan Gupta.
23:57You see, this wasn't, you know, as Dr. Vikram Singh and he's
24:00saying this on the basis of evidence that the police have been
24:02able to gather that around the 4th and 5th of June, the evidence
24:06was there in public domain. However, however, Rohan Gupta, a
24:10private audit firm, according to media reports, warned that Sriram
24:15Janbhumi Teeth Kshetre, way back in 2020, that there has to be a
24:22robust oversight mechanism. It needs to be put in place. Then
24:27accountability needs to be ensured. These are all internal audit
24:30points that were being brought out. Sources say the trust, as
24:34Dr. Vikram Singh also pointed out, recovered initially about 58
24:38lakhs. Some more money was returned subsequently between June 5 and
24:41June 8, but no FIR. Does this not smack of a cover up?
24:46Why were audit warnings and internal red flags ignored?
24:53Unless this was complicity. Congress says this is organized loot.
24:57It's dacoity says the Samajwadi Party.
25:00See again, from beginning, whether our party or we are not saying that
25:03there are no irregularities. Something what has happened, we cannot, you
25:07know, justify that. Please don't speak in between, right? This is not a
25:10You did that last time, Rohan. I gave you the title last time. You did not.
25:15No, you didn't answer my question. So you want to do this? We can do that also.
25:19Don't consider it as irregularity. This is called loot. Loot by RSS.
25:32One by one. One by one. People don't believe you. You will not answer
25:35Saprimada. You will not answer Dromklub. Where is your leader? He's there. He's there.
25:40Why is not going to Ayodhra and doing Pashatap? This is the problem with Congress Party.
25:44You cannot play politics on such a sensitive issue. The whole country knows. The people who
25:49have never accepted the existence of Lord Ram, you always question Lord Ram's existence.
25:54And you are trying to play politics and people will forgive you now. You have to answer a lot of
25:58questions.
25:59You always question Lord Ram, you exist and you will loot Ram.
26:02Exister. Never went to Lord Ram temple. And you are questioning here today. People will
26:07not trust you. You don't want to do Raj. This and you will loot Ram.
26:11Answer on Saprimala. You run away. Answer on Saprimala. This is not a matter of faith for you.
26:19This is a matter of politics for you. That's a basic difference between us and you.
26:22For us it's a matter of faith. For you it's a matter of politics and for you it's a matter
26:27of
26:27You are making a very shadow
26:29argument, Rohan. You are saying,
26:30Ram exists and we will lose them and you people
26:33keep quiet. That's what you're saying.
26:35Aren't you shamed?
26:36Don't you have any shame at all?
26:39You're just talking like your leaders.
26:42Let's be bringing any people
26:43are not going on.
26:45Let Rohan Gupta speak
26:46then
26:48one by one.
26:50Bhavya,
26:54give him
26:5530 seconds, then I'm coming to you,
26:56Bhavya. She has no answer on the
26:58ideological issues. She has no answer why
27:00the leaders are not going to Ram Temple.
27:02She has absolutely no answer on the ideological
27:04prenders by Congress Party.
27:06Sir, I will ask her that.
27:08Sir, I will ask her that. However,
27:10you need to answer.
27:12If there was organized
27:14loot that was on for so much time,
27:16why was an FIR not registered?
27:19Was there a cover-up as
27:20the opposition alleges and there is merit?
27:22The opposition, it's their job
27:24to ask you questions, sir, and it's your job
27:26to answer the questions.
27:27I'm not saying no.
27:27Please, please understand.
27:28I'm not saying, I'm not saying,
27:30I'm not to ask, but there are irregularities.
27:32I'm coming to you.
27:32The Temple Trust somewhere,
27:34the management has definitely failed
27:36in their responsibility.
27:37I completely agree with
27:38Vikram Singh Ji's arguments.
27:40Definitely, the law should have been followed.
27:42But the way it happened is,
27:43when Trust found out that the theft was going on,
27:46after watching the CCTV,
27:48they recommended SIT immediately.
27:49Just within three days,
27:51because of a sensitive issue,
27:52just within three days,
27:53this is the first time in the history
27:54that SIT submits the reports.
27:56Eight people have been arrested immediately.
27:58The Temple Trust office bearers
28:00who have been responsible
28:01for the management,
28:02they have resigned immediately.
28:04It is not stopping here.
28:05It is for us,
28:06it is an ideological issue.
28:07We have to show to the country
28:09that for us,
28:09it is a matter of ideology.
28:11We won't forgive anybody.
28:12But the people who are coming
28:14and playing politics,
28:15shame on them.
28:16The people who have never agreed
28:17on the assistance of Ram,
28:19they are asking of the question.
28:20Respond to BJP saying,
28:21shame on those
28:22who have no faith in Lord Ram,
28:24who have no faith in Lord Krishna,
28:26but are only indulging in politics
28:28on the subject now.
28:30Let's again start from basic.
28:32If there is any financial misappropriation
28:34or irregularity,
28:35the person primarily held responsible
28:37is the Treasury of the Trust.
28:39And Mr.,
28:40this Treasury of the Trust,
28:42this is the person
28:43who is feeding Kurd
28:44to the Prime Minister.
28:45And now,
28:45Prime Minister itself
28:46has Kurds set in his mouth.
28:49PM6 votes in the name of Ram Mandir,
28:52posting hundreds plus tweets
28:54when votes were needed.
28:55Yet now,
28:57when everything has been lost,
28:58he remains silent.
29:01So,
29:01in this Ram Mandir loot,
29:04it started in 2021
29:06when the registry fraud was done.
29:08But what,
29:09after that,
29:09if you see,
29:10if the opposition is asking
29:11for accountability,
29:13and there is a conflict
29:14of interest also,
29:15and it has to be
29:17a transparent mechanism,
29:18the governance has to be proper.
29:20The integrity of the Mandir Trust
29:22is profoundly compromised
29:24because every member
29:26managing is under scanner,
29:28and who is the champion
29:29of the nation first
29:31are turning out
29:32to be the donation first champion.
29:34The CCTV footage
29:35has been deleted.
29:36Why?
29:37If you are so honest,
29:39why you have deleted
29:40the CCTV?
29:54It itself suggested
29:55one example,
29:56where Behrish Dargah issue,
29:58Salaar Gazi,
29:59your person,
30:00your office bearer
30:01has been responsible
30:02for the theft.
30:03Where are the moral grounds
30:04of SP?
30:05I accepted that there were
30:07irregularities,
30:07and we will take care of that.
30:09You tell me,
30:09in the Behrish Dargah case,
30:10Salaar Gazi case,
30:12your office bearer
30:12has been found guilty.
30:14Why you are quiet on that?
30:15Where is accountability?
30:17Where is accountability?
30:18There is no accountability
30:19for Samajwadi party.
30:20Your appeasement politics
30:22has shut up.
30:23You are the government
30:23in power,
30:25in the state,
30:26and in the center.
30:28In case somebody
30:29from the Samajwadi party
30:30is involved
30:31in the Salaar Gazi case,
30:33lock him up.
30:34Throw away the key.
30:35Absolutely.
30:35But also do that,
30:36also do that
30:37in the Ram Jan Bhoomi case.
30:39We will do that.
30:39That's what I said.
30:40Also in the Ram Jan Bhoomi case.
30:42It is a moral responsibility
30:42to ensure that
30:44each and everybody
30:45who is responsible
30:46for theft in Ram Mandir,
30:48whether small or big,
30:49whoever it is,
30:49we have to take them to task
30:51and set example
30:52in front of the country
30:53that in future,
30:53nobody can dare to do that.
30:55What I am asking here is,
30:56as a Samajwadi party leader,
30:58do you accept the responsibility?
31:00Government will do that job.
31:01Why the moral stories
31:02are only for BJP?
31:04Why not for you?
31:05And ideologically,
31:05you are talking about Ram Mandir.
31:07Then the leader
31:08has not even gone once.
31:09He is your Ram temple,
31:10different from his Ram temple.
31:11But sir,
31:12they are in opposition.
31:13They are in opposition.
31:14They are not in power,
31:16either in the state
31:17or in the center.
31:18What argument is he making?
31:19But I want to bring in
31:20Dr. Vikram Singh
31:21on a very pertinent point.
31:23Dr. Vikram Singh,
31:24you know,
31:25if the BJP
31:27raises a question
31:28at the Salar Ghazi,
31:30you know,
31:30there was
31:31alleged embezzlement,
31:33Yogi Adityanath government
31:34can take action.
31:35They are in the government
31:36in power.
31:37But I want to come back
31:38to the Ram Jan Bhoomi case
31:39and which is very pertinent.
31:41In case,
31:42the responsibility
31:43was that
31:44of the General Secretary
31:45Champat Rai,
31:46on what basis
31:48did his driver,
31:50you know,
31:51that Tinnu Yadav fellow,
31:52on what basis
31:53did he have access
31:54to key
31:55of the donation room?
31:57On what basis,
31:59what was the system
32:00of checking people
32:01who were collecting money,
32:02counting cash,
32:04carrying out
32:05cash transfers,
32:06the bank is also
32:08subletting it
32:08to somebody else.
32:10Sir,
32:10I understand Ram Raj
32:11but it can't be
32:13Champat Rai Raj
32:14in Ayodhya.
32:19Sir,
32:20you're on mute,
32:20sir.
32:21Sir,
32:22you're on mute.
32:23Gaurav ji,
32:24like you,
32:24I'm absolutely
32:25incensed here
32:26from the defense background
32:27and you know
32:27what discipline
32:28and propriety are.
32:29Tinnu had no business
32:30to hold the keys
32:31to the Hundis
32:32as also be a part
32:34of those facilitating
32:35darshans as well.
32:36It is not just one thing
32:37and I would not like
32:38to believe
32:38what I'm told
32:39that he had access
32:40to a police wireless
32:41walkie-talkie.
32:42If this is not scandalous
32:43then what is?
32:44I hope I am wrong
32:46but the fact of the matter is
32:47Tinnu Yadav
32:49had more authority
32:50than he deserved ever.
32:51He was over-promoted
32:52to a rank
32:53which he just did not deserve.
32:55Now,
32:55fault after fault,
32:56Mr. Champatra,
32:57I would say,
32:58he was treated
32:59like a holy cow
33:00for the first 10 days.
33:01In his case,
33:02don't say anything
33:03They are very poor.
33:04They are poor.
33:04They are poor.
33:04They are poor.
33:05They are poor.
33:05They are poor.
33:05They are poor.
33:05They are poor.
33:05They are poor.
33:06There is no such
33:08consideration
33:08in criminal jurisprudence
33:10that a person
33:10has a good conduct
33:11of 50 years
33:12so he should be
33:13let off the hook.
33:13By no means.
33:14All the more reason
33:15that he should get
33:16exemplary
33:17and historic punishment.
33:20Very pertinent point
33:21and Rohan Gupta,
33:22you must respond to that.
33:23Don't say anything
33:23about Champatra.
33:24about Ramji.
33:25Don't say anything about Ramji.
33:27He is a poor.
33:28He is a poor.
33:31I have also spoken to him
33:33sought details of the case
33:35when the case was going on.
33:36I also used to see him
33:37in court.
33:38I have reported this
33:39case in 2010
33:40in Lucknow
33:41in 2019
33:42in Supreme Court
33:43and subsequently
33:44Pran Pratish Tha.
33:45but how did this
33:46one man become
33:47so powerful
33:47that he is deciding
33:49he is not Raja Yodhya
33:50that he will decide
33:51that he will decide
33:53and there is no oversight.
33:56I completely agree with you.
33:58See from beginning
33:59I have always said
34:00that there are
34:00eagerities
34:01and nobody is above
34:02Lord Ram's faith.
34:03That's what I am saying.
34:04Whether it is
34:04Champatra, X, Y, Z
34:06and we will show
34:07the example.
34:08For us it is very important.
34:09It is emotional cause
34:10for us to ensure
34:11that everybody
34:12should be put behind
34:13the bars
34:13and taken to the task.
34:15I am absolutely
34:15not disputing
34:16the irregularities.
34:17Something wrong
34:17has happened
34:18and we have to accept that.
34:20We are not hiding the fact.
34:21But that doesn't mean
34:22that we will leave
34:23or we will try
34:24to protect anybody
34:25who is better
34:26with Champatra, X, Y, Z.
34:28And that is why
34:29as a first step
34:29he has resigned
34:30from his post.
34:31And after the FIR
34:32if he is found guilty
34:33obviously evidence
34:34is in front
34:35and he will be
34:35behind the bus.
34:36So who is protecting whom?
34:38Is he BJP office bearer?
34:39No.
34:40Is he our VHP office bearer?
34:41No.
34:41But we are going
34:42to take them to task
34:43and we are not
34:44going to leave anybody.
34:46We have to send message
34:47across the country.
34:48It's a matter of faith.
34:50And these kind of
34:50Chunavi Hindus
34:51who have got opportunity
34:52they will go back
34:53to their shell
34:54and never try to play
34:55politics in name of Lord Ram.
34:56We will ask that question
34:57to Bhavya Narasimha Murthy
34:58since you have raised it
34:59for the third time now.
35:01You want to respond madam
35:02for the Congress party
35:04which once filed an affidavit
35:05questioning the existence
35:06or saying
35:07words to the effect
35:08that there is no evidence
35:09of Lord Ram
35:09or words to that effect
35:11point one, point two.
35:13When have your top leaders
35:14visited Ayodhya?
35:15I know there is a delegation
35:16of seven, eight leaders
35:18from Uttar Pradesh
35:18going there.
35:19But for example
35:20Rahul Gandhi
35:21or Priyanka Gandhi,
35:22why would they
35:23not travel there?
35:24Same question
35:25for Akhilesh Yadav.
35:26Are you all
35:27as the BJP
35:27Chunavi Hindu
35:29just behti ganga
35:30mein haath do re
35:30no faith in Lord Ram?
35:33Gauravah
35:34I'm surprised that
35:35as a journalist
35:36you are actually
35:37asking this question.
35:39No, he's asking
35:40that question.
35:40I'm only
35:40and foremost
35:41first and foremost
35:42first and foremost
35:43first and foremost
35:45any politician
35:46or any human being
35:47not going to a temple
35:49shouldn't make them
35:52anything
35:52whether the belief
35:54every religious belief
35:55is personal
35:56Gaurav.
35:57One, as a leader
35:58of opposition
35:59as a prominent
36:00opposition party
36:02whether we go
36:03to a temple
36:04or not
36:04when misappropriation
36:06is happening
36:06in the name
36:07of Lord Rama
36:08when they are
36:09playing with
36:09crones of Hindu
36:11devotees
36:11and their religious
36:13feelings
36:13it is our duty
36:15to ask questions
36:16and just because
36:17we have visited
36:17one temple
36:18doesn't mean
36:19we do not
36:20believe in
36:21we do not
36:22believe in Hindu
36:23gods
36:24and how can you
36:25even justify
36:26that we are not
36:26supposed to ask
36:27questions when
36:28you are looting
36:28Lord Rama
36:30you came to
36:31power in the name
36:32of Lord Rama
36:33so you have
36:34election Hindus

36:37of Lord Rama

36:40Lord Jalva
36:41to come to power
36:42not us
36:43come on
36:44what are you
36:44even saying
36:45Rohan Gupta

36:48shallow argument

36:50believe
36:51we are in
36:53opposition
36:54Rahul Gandhi
36:55is the leader
36:55of opposition
36:56you people

36:58the people of
36:59India
36:59he has every
37:00right to ask
37:01you the
37:01question
37:04it's my
37:05point
37:06I have asked
37:07questions on
37:07both sides
37:08it is for our
37:09viewers to decide
37:10but there is a
37:12very pertinent
37:13point that
37:14Mr. Bharti
37:15had raised
37:15Mr. Pradeep
37:17Bharti had raised
37:17a very pertinent
37:18point
37:18Dr. Vikram Singh
37:22the district
37:23magistrate
37:25officials of the
37:26home ministry
37:27they are all a
37:28part of the
37:28Shri Ram Janmabhumi
37:29Teert Kshetra
37:30so if they are
37:32a part of the
37:32Shri Ram Janmabhumi
37:33Teert Kshetra
37:34anyas
37:34can the blame
37:36only be fixed
37:37on these eight
37:38people who have
37:39been taken into
37:39custody
37:40or even on
37:41Champatrai
37:41the general
37:42secretary
37:42what about
37:43the home
37:45ministry officials
37:46what about
37:47the district
37:47magistrate
37:48and if they
37:49are all a
37:49part of the
37:50same system
37:50should the
37:51probe be
37:52conducted by
37:52UP government
37:53or should the
37:54probe as
37:55lawyers demand

41:40rohan gupta
41:41last 30 seconds
41:42that i have on this part of the show
41:44100% see i think mr bati you know he
41:47boomerang on his own point he said that okay sankrajari didn't go to
41:52the opening function we didn't go last two years your leader could
41:55not go to ram temple you are saying that you are winning from
41:58ayodhya your mp was from ayodhya why even your mp could
42:01not go there in last two years just recently the problem is no let me
42:06complete let me complete don't speak in between please don't do this
42:10please don't do this this is not the way my point is very simple
42:14definitely everybody who is ram bug or the sympathizer of lord ram or
42:18billion round they have definitely right to ask question but the question i have
42:21answered all the question bjp government has not shied away we have
42:24clearly said each and everybody under the sun will be taken the tarp is
42:29respected whether he's big small or anything we have taken responsibility but the people
42:33who have not believed lord ram for last two years now they are trying to play
42:37election politics that is the whole question again you ask the question but then the counter
42:40question also you should answer very closely i want to thank all our guests we've overshot
42:45time on this part of the debate but should there be a court monitored investigation
42:51is a question we'll be tracking very closely a four-year-old child is among 35 people massacred
42:58in pakistan airstrikes pakistan air force airstrikes on afghanistan and this isn't an isolated
43:05airstrike in the past seven months more than 500 afghans have been killed men women and children
43:11non-combatants pakistan's double standards are on display for the world remember pakistan claims to be
43:19a peacemaker but look at what that peacemaker so-called peacemaker is doing in neighboring
43:26afghanistan after blaming india for these attacks on pakistani rangers in karachi there was no evidence
43:33that pakistan produced islamabad now resorted to airstrikes to massacre women and children in
43:39afghanistan the afghan government says 36 bodies have been recovered so far men women children as young
43:48as four-year-old pakistan claims that it targeted a terrorist training camp four-year-old child was
43:54undergoing training 11 year old child a 14 year old child 160 have been injured afghanistan has
44:03summoned pakistan's shari affairs to lodge a formal diplomatic protest islamabad also summoned
44:10afghanistan's own way they claim afghan territory is being used to facilitate attacks inside karachi there
44:17was a massive attack on the rangers in karachi now pakistan earlier accused india linking india to
44:24that attack in karachi but then went and bombed afghanistan instead the ministry of external affairs
44:29very clearly said pakistan's allegations are totally baseless india's urged pakistan to look within
44:35instead of attempting to blame neighbors at the same time pakistan which sought to project that there
44:41was back channel diplomatic engagement that was happening with india they claimed that track two
44:47track 1.5 back channel negotiations are happening multiple talks have happened whether it's in colombo or in
44:55thailand or in the united kingdom and western powers were pumping in money into the so-called back channel
45:01the ministry of external affairs made it very clear it's a private engagement government of india
45:07has nothing to do with it and whoever is speaking there whatever they're saying they're saying it in their
45:13individual capacity they are no one to represent government of india the government says there's no
45:19change in our position on ties with pakistan terror and talks cannot go hand in hand listen in to
45:26india's foreign secretary vikram misri
45:31i've seen the reports i'm aware of them and what i would say is that firstly look
45:40dozens of these kinds of events take place in dozens of places around the world on a whole variety of
45:46subjects so there's nothing new nothing special about this these events secondly as far as we are
45:54concerned these are private events organized by private parties there's nothing official about
46:03them as far as we are concerned i mean obviously i cannot speak for the government of pakistan but as
46:08far as the government of india is concerned there is no official participation no official support
46:13or involvement in these visits senior journalist sandeep unethan now joins me for more on this sandeep
46:22the durian line on fire yet again and it's been on fire for almost a year plus close to 500
46:29plus
46:29people have been massacred on the afghan side by pakistan what's happening there well gaurav as you
46:37mentioned the you know violence broke out in the october 2025 and ever since there's been heavy
46:43fighting that's been going on over there pakistan has launched this operation what which they call
46:47ghazab lil thak which is to hit what they call our ttp sanctuaries inside of afghanistan but as you
46:54pointed out these sanctuaries are nothing but civilian establishments on the 16th of march they
47:00hit a drug rehabilitation center inside of kabul killing hundreds of drug addicts over in rehab
47:07you know the afghan civilians are bearing the brunt of these pakistani airstrikes now pakistan is using
47:14air and ground uh you know offensives against uh what they call ttp sanctuaries inside of afghanistan
47:20but lot of the interesting thing is they have not produced any shred of evidence until now to show
47:26that the afghan taliban is behind these attacks how they are uh you know pushing ttp inside any evidence
47:33of all of this it's just uh you know general headquarters raval pindi deciding that uh it's
47:39just asim unir's mind one day he decides it's afghanistan one day he blames india next day he
47:44bombs afghanistan they don't have enough forces to man both the ratcliffe line and the durand line do
47:50they and the trouble internally not at all gaurav and in fact as we pointed out in the past this
47:55is the
47:56first time that we're seeing multiple provinces in pakistan uh up in arms you've seen violence in balochistan
48:02khyber paktoonkwa uh you know the sind there are activities uh there there have been uh terrorist attacks
48:09inside of punjab province uh we've seen what's happened in uh uh you know pakistan occupied kashmir so
48:16clearly general headquarters raval pindi doesn't know what to do and that you know the easiest thing for
48:22them to do is to strike at uh civilian targets inside of afghanistan and claim that they are
48:26terror training camps it's just their frustration asim unir's frustration uh you know he claims to
48:32be man of peace but what he's doing is waging war against the civilians of afghanistan there are some
48:38who say he's defender of sunni islam he's killing more sunni people there in afghanistan but that's
48:43another story we'll be tracking sandhi for the moment penny thanks we talk about justice we talk about
48:48justice finally it's delayed many methods denied but a very important first step has been taken
48:5635 years after one of the most chilling crimes in kashmir there's finally hope for justice at least in
49:03one case sarla bhat a young kashmiri hindu nurse posted at the shere kashmir institute of medical sciences
49:11she was abducted on the 18th of april 1990 from near the hospital she was brutally tortured reports
49:18say she was raped gang raped and then shot dead assault weapons in srinagar what was worse when her
49:25family was coming back after her last rites a grenade was hurled at that home at their home a signal
49:32was sent out hindu's leave kashmir ralav galav ya saliv that was chanted from mosques in srinagar
49:38finally at least some of those responsible may be brought to justice because the legal proceedings
49:46have started jammu kashmir state investigation agency it's a major step forward they filed a 737
49:52page chart sheet before a special court in srinagar sunil ji bhat gets you this report
50:1536 years since the brutal abduction assault and murder of kashmiri pandit nurse sarla bhat there is hope
50:23for justice now jammu and kashmir state investigation agency has filed a 737 page long chart sheet
50:31before a special court in srinagar sources confirm that the accused mentioned in the sihr
50:38sheet for the planning and involvement in crime are mohammed yasin malik then chief commander of jklf
50:49who pulled the trigger investigators say and is believed to be presently in the po key legal
50:56proceedings have been initiated against him other three accused abdul hamid sheikh mohammed yusuf sophie
51:03alias idris and gulam mohammed taplu who have since died kashmiri pandit nurse sarila bhat was abducted
51:12from the vicinity of shere kashmir institute of medical sciences on april 18 1990 subjected to
51:18brutal torture and physical assault and thereafter shot dead through an automatic rifle fire in srinagar
51:24for decades the case remained unresolved due to fear and intimidation by terror groups
51:31so how did the si probe a case almost 40 years old the investigators brought together a formidable body
51:37of oral testimonies reconstructing sequence of events forensic ballistic evidence of the weapons
51:43used medical and electronic evidence accumulated over decades and scientifically analyzed by si kashmir
51:52but sources suggest a bigger breakthrough has happened in the case the campaign to wrongly brand
51:58sar labhat as an informer was jklf systematic campaign to spread fear among kashmiri hindus and
52:04create conditions for their forced displacement and advance therefore the secessionist agenda of the terror group
52:11finally there is ray of hope for the displaced kashmiri pundits as the state investigation agency has made a major
52:18headway
52:19in the 1990 sar labhat killing case while the kashmiri pundits have welcomed the action that has been taken by
52:27the state investigation agency
52:29the displaced community however has demanded that a full-fledged commission of inquiry should be appointed
52:35to probe all the killings of the kashmiri pundits so that
52:40the perpetrators and the plotters of these heinous crimes could be punished and brought to justice
52:47india today's news track videos on the kashmiri pundit genocide
52:51has also been mentioned in the charge sheet as part of evidence
53:04the successful culmination of this investigation after 35 years is a powerful reminder that the passage
53:11of time does not erase criminal liability in the naya kashmir with puja shali and sunil ji bhat
53:18bureau report india today
