Ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, the Congress has announced that it will aggressively raise several key national issues, including the alleged Ram Temple donation controversy, the NEET examination, the alleged E20 scam and India’s foreign policy challenges.
Speaking after the Congress Parliamentary Party meeting in Delhi on Thursday, senior Congress leader and MP Jairam Ramesh said the Opposition intends to seek discussions on multiple matters that it believes require the government’s response during the upcoming session.
Congress Targets Alleged Ram Temple Donation Irregularities
Jairam Ramesh said the party would raise what he described as serious concerns over the alleged misuse of donations linked to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. “There are other issues we intend to raise specifically, the theft of donations and the betrayal of faith. Regarding the Lord Shri Ram temple, new revelations are surfacing daily. We will certainly raise the issue of the scandal orchestrated by the BJP and RSS in Ayodhya.”
The remarks come amid continuing political exchanges over allegations relating to financial management associated with the Ram Temple Trust.
NEET and Alleged E20 Scam Also on Congress Agenda
The Congress leader said education and corruption-related issues would also feature prominently during the Parliament session. “There is also the issue of NEET… The third issue, as you know, is the E20 scam, which implicates several senior BJP leaders and their sons; we will certainly demand a discussion on this.”
He indicated that the party would press for debates on both issues inside Parliament.
Foreign Policy to be a Major Focus
Jairam Ramesh also said the Congress plans to question the government over recent developments in India’s foreign relations, particularly with China, the United States and the evolving situation in West Asia. “There are other issues as well, particularly concerning foreign policy and the new challenges that have arisen. These include our relations with China and the US, as well as the deteriorating situation in West Asia observed over the last month or two.”
According to the Congress, these international developments warrant detailed discussions during the Monsoon Session.
