Don’t politicise temple donation case: Raju Das

Lucknow: Reacting to the arrest of eight accused in the alleged Ram Temple donation embezzlement case, Hanuman Garhi temple priest Mahant Raju Das on Friday said the development vindicated the UP govt's decision to order an SIT probe and urged people not to politicise the issue.Calling it "a matter that should be allowed to reach its logical conclusion", Raju Das said chief minister Yogi Adityanath maintained from the outset that the truth would emerge through a fair investigation."As Yogi Adityanath said, the truth has started coming out. But the matter is still under investigation. Therefore, people should maintain peace and patience and not fall for the opposition's provocations," he said.Das accused the opposition of trying to derive political mileage from the issue. "The opposition has no vision or agenda. It sought to give the matter a political colour, while we remained silent to allow the investigation to proceed," he said.
