An FIR has been filed in Varanasi against Rahul Gandhi, Pappu Yadav and Awadhesh Prasad over the Opposition's Parliament skit on the alleged Ram Temple donation theft. While the BJP has accused the Opposition of hurting religious sentiments and insulting Sanatan Dharma, the Congress and its allies have defended the protest, arguing that raising questions over the alleged misuse of devotees' donations cannot be treated as a crime.
