Congress MP KC Venugopal has submitted an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha seeking an urgent discussion on what he described as "shocking revelations" of massive financial fraud, theft and embezzlement of public donations at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

In the notice submitted to the Lok Sabha Secretariat on Tuesday, Venugopal alleged that a highly organised racket was operating within the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, with bundles of cash and valuable jewellery donated by devotees allegedly being systematically siphoned off.

Venugopal said the matter was of "urgent importance" and warranted the suspension of regular business of the House for a discussion. He alleged that the donations were made by millions of devotees and constituted the hard-earned life savings of people across the country.

Opposition party floor leaders will hold a meeting on Tuesday at 10 AM at the office of the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha in Parliament to discuss and chalk out their strategy for the proceedings of the House.

Earlier, on Monday, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi stepped up his attack on Amit Shah, demanding a direct answer on who ordered police action against student protesters in the national capital, and stated that the Union Home Minister must "go" regardless of the answer.

Addressing a press conference in the national capital, Rahul Gandhi said that the Opposition is not interested in listening to Shah's "opinion" and just wanted an answer on who was behind the police crackdown.

"Amit Shah does not have the courage to come to the Parliament and stand before us. This is what they have shown in the last 15 days. Neither Narendra Modi nor Amit Shah has the guts... No one is interested in his opinion; we just want to know who ordered the firing, and if he did not order it, then who in MHA ordered it? We want to understand: is there culpability or incompetence?" said Gandhi.
