Opposition Stages Ram Temple Donation Theft Skit in Parliament
In July 2026, opposition MPs in India’s Parliament put on a play about money that was supposedly taken from the Ram Temple.
Rahul Gandhi and other MPs put money into a box, and Pappu Yadav, dressed like a priest, pretended to steal it.
The act was meant to show that the government might be hiding how the temple’s donations were used.
Samajwadi Party MPs, who own the protest, asked for a big investigation.
BJP MPs said the government was already looking into the problem and called the protest political theatre.
Opposition MPs staged a mock theft of Ram Temple donations inside Parliament’s Makar Dwar on July 31, 2026.
Rahul Gandhi and other MPs symbolically donated money into a box while Pappu Yadav, dressed as a priest, later “stole” the cash.
The skit was part of a broader protest by Samajwadi Party MPs demanding investigation into alleged donation irregularities.
BJP MPs Arun Govil and Sudhanshu Trivedi criticized the protest, urging the government to address the allegations.
The demonstration followed earlier protests at Makar Dwar, with Samajwadi Party MPs chanting slogans and demanding a high‑level inquiry.
