Mahant Dharmdas, a former litigant in the Ram Lalla case, has publicly called for the dissolution of the current trust responsible for managing the assets of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir. He emphasizes that the temple assets should be registered directly in the name of the deity, Ram Lalla, asserting that this would ensure greater transparency and accountability.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Dharmdas expressed support for the ongoing investigation led by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) into allegations of embezzlement related to donations made for the temple's construction. He described the recent 15-day extension granted to the SIT as a "good decision," indicating that it demonstrates a commitment to uncover the truth and bring those responsible for any wrongdoing to justice.

"The assets should belong to Ram Lalla, not a trust that could be manipulated or misused. It is time we prioritize the interests of the deity over administrative complexities," Dharmdas stated, highlighting the need for a direct and unambiguous ownership structure for the temple's assets.

In recent months, the Ram Mandir construction has drawn significant public attention, and with it, concerns regarding the transparency of financial contributions. Dharmdas's remarks resonate with a growing demand among devotees for clarity on how donations are being utilized and managed.

The controversy surrounding the trust and its management has prompted various stakeholders to call for reforms, echoing Dharmdas’s sentiments. Many believe that registering the assets in the deity's name would symbolize a return to the temple's spiritual core while ensuring accountability for the funds raised for its construction.

As the SIT continues its thorough investigation, Dharmdas remains optimistic that the inquiry will shed light on any misconduct and help restore faith in the custodians of the temple. He urged all involved to cooperate fully with the investigation to uphold the integrity of the religious site.

With the temple's inauguration on the horizon, the clarity regarding its management and financial integrity remains paramount for both devotees and the broader community.
