Pappu Yadav, Rahul Gandhi booked over Ram Temple donation theft skit outside Parliament amid huge row

A political storm has erupted over a skit performed by opposition MPs inside the Parliament complex targeting the Centre over the alleged Ram Mandir donation embezzlement case.

The protest has triggered multiple police complaints, demands for action against the leaders involved, and sharp condemnation from the BJP.

An FIR has been registered in Varanasi following a complaint by a religious leader. Another police complaint has been lodged against Purnia MP Pappu Yadav by petitioner Surya Maithil at Delhi's Jehangirpuri Police Station.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Kashi Zone) Gaurav Banswal said, "Mahant Balak Nath Ji has submitted a formal complaint at the Kotwali police



station. The complaint concerns certain videos that went viral on social media, in which Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav is seen dressed in the attire of a Sant and engaging in acts that, according to the complainant, insult Sanatan Dharma. Based on this complaint, a case is being registered, and further legal action will follow."

The complainant also warned of taking the "law in their hands" if their demands were not met.

"We have lodged an FIR against Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, Awadhesh Prasad, and Pappu Yadav today. We took this step because of the way Pappu Yadav has insulted Sanatan Dharma, the saffron attire, and the community of saints and seers," the complainant told ANI.
