Meanwhile, diplomatic talks in Doha on a Middle East memorandum of understanding showed positive progress, with further negotiations expected after the funeral.

Congress, AAP demand SC-monitored probe into Ram Temple donation irregularities

Congress has called on Prime Minister Modi to order a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into alleged financial irregularities in Ram Temple donations, labelling the matter a 'chanda chori mega scandal'. The party dismissed the Uttar Pradesh government's SIT inquiry as insufficient, alleging that senior officials are complicit in the wrongdoing. AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal supported the demand, claiming that influential figures linked to land deals and temple construction are being protected from accountability. Both parties contend that only lower-level individuals are being arrested while those with greater power remain untouched. The opposition's coordinated criticism signals growing political pressure on the ruling establishment over the temple donation controversy.
