Senior functionaries of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) are expected to hold discussions with prominent seers in Ayodhya amid the ongoing controversy over the alleged theft of donations from the Ram Temple.

According to sources, RSS and VHP leaders will interact with religious leaders and seers to discuss the developments surrounding the alleged theft case and its impact on devotees.
The discussions are also expected to focus on measures to maintain public confidence in the temple administration and ensure that the controversy does not overshadow the significance of the Ram Temple.
Donation theft controversy
The controversy erupted after allegations surfaced regarding the misappropriation of donations made by devotees at the Ram Temple.

Temple authorities have maintained that they are cooperating fully with investigators.
