Ram temple donation row: Ayodhya bar association resolves not to defend accused

Ayodhya’s Bar Association has taken a firm stance, refusing to represent eight suspects accused of misappropriating donations intended for the Ram temple. A penalty of Rs 5 lakh will be imposed for any breach of this decision. Furthermore, an ultimatum has been set for officials Champat Rai, Anil Mishra, and Gopal Rao to depart Ayodhya within three days, with threats of a city blockade should they fail to comply.
