Parliament witnessed another stormy day during the Monsoon Session as the alleged Ram Temple donation issue triggered heated exchanges in the Rajya Sabha. Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge questioned the government over the alleged donation theft issue and asked where investigative agencies such as the ED, CBI and Income Tax Department were. His remarks sparked loud protests from NDA MPs, forcing a brief adjournment of the House. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju hit back, demanding an apology from the Opposition and accusing it of disrupting Parliament instead of participating in debates on key legislation.

Ram Mandir donation theft case has entered a crucial financial scrutiny phase, with police seeking five years of banking records from seven banks linked to the accused and the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Investigators are examining bank transactions, cash deposits, withdrawals and fund transfers to determine whether devotees' donations were diverted. Amid the expanding probe, the Ayodhya Bar Association has passed a resolution demanding a court-monitored CBI investigation into the Trust's financial affairs. The Bar has also announced that its members will not represent the accused, warning that any lawyer who does so will face a ₹5 lakh penalty per accused.
