A fresh controversy has emerged over donations made for the Ayodhya Ram Mandir after businessman Dr. Raju V. Manwani claimed that 200 silver bricks, each weighing one kilogram, were handed over for the temple project in January 2021. Representing the Sindhi community, he said no receipt was issued at the time and donors were never informed about how the silver was utilised. Following reports questioning the handling of temple donations, Manwani sought transparency and accountability, stating that donors have the right to know how their contributions were used. He also supported any official probe into the matter and called for strict action if any misuse of donations is established.
