Mahant Dharam Das, the head of Nirvani Akhara has sent a legal notice to the Ministry of Home Affairs and questioned the formation of Shri Ramjanmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. He has alleged that the trust has not been formed as per the Supreme Court's decision and there are many flaws in its construction.
Mahant alleged that the existing trust, which was set up for the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya, is illegal and arbitrary here. Along with this, he has also said that the trust has not been formed as per the order of the Supreme Court given in November last year.
Through the notice, he told the Ministry of Home Affairs that there is a need to improve the trust and that is why the notice has been issued. Mahant Das has said that if the central government does not respond or takes action within two months of receiving the notice, then a petition will be filed in the Supreme Court.
In the notice, Mahant Dharam Das has raised the question that when all the property belongs to God, why was God not included in the trust? And why were previous donations and offerings not displayed in the newly formed trust?
The Ram Janambhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust was created for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The 15-member trust was constituted by the Modi government, after the Supreme Court's verdict on November 9 settled the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case.
The trust had chosen Nitya Gopal Das as its president while Prime Minister Narendra Modi's former principal secretary Nripendra Misra has been appointed to head temple construction committee of the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya.
The construction work for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya has begun and is expected to finish in 36-40 months. The temple will be built adhering to India's ancient and traditional construction techniques, and will be able to sustain natural calamities.
Copper plates will be used to fuse stone blocks with each other, upon which people who donated bricks to the temple can engrave family names, place of origin or their community temples' names on these plates.
