Ram Mandir Donation Case: Shri Ram Mandir Trust Treasurer Govind Dev Giri Maharaj has clearly said that he will not resign from the post. He said that for some time now this news has been circulating in the media that I am going to resign from the post of Treasurer of the Trust, whereas the truth is that I have never said so and will never say so. I am a follower of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, not among those who run away.
Govind Dev Giri said in a press conference that this incident is a big shock for us and a matter of shame, because it is God’s Sri Ram’s temple It happened in. We hold ourselves responsible for this. This should not have happened but I will not resign as an atonement but will strengthen the system further to ensure that such mistakes do not happen again. I have increased my chanting and there are many other ways of atonement.
will restore public confidence
He said that we will not rest in peace without rebuilding the trust of the people across the country. Being the treasurer, I am repenting every day. I am chanting. 70 Pandits will perform rituals for 10 days in the temple. Govind Dev Giri said that Champat Rai’s carelessness became the reason for this entire matter. As Treasurer, it is my responsibility to keep track of the money coming into the fund and control its expenditure. Accountants have been appointed for this purpose, who check the accounts every month.
Big things about Govind Giri’s PC
- SIT investigation is going on in the case of alleged theft in Ram temple, with which I am satisfied. I am satisfied that the matter has reached the Supreme Court. Champat Rai has given his resignation himself. After the resignation is submitted, it is accepted.
- I had no direct connection with the collection of money coming as donations. The local trustee was looking after this work. I accept the responsibility of income and expenditure. This arrangement was not solely dependent on the trust, rather the employees were appointed by SBI.
- SBI is a reputed bank of the country, so we trusted it. No false statement should be added from my side. What happened is a crime and I am deeply saddened by it. My head is bowed in shame due to this incident. The culprits should be given strict punishment.
- I have been living at this residence in Pune since 1993. There are a total of 10 plots here, out of which 3 are inhabited by people and 5 are owned by institutions. I don’t have any assets in my name except one bank account. Wrong news was published about me in the media.
- Those who are responsible in the Ram Temple theft case should accept their responsibility. CCTV cameras were installed during the counting of donation boxes, but the thieves committed the crime under the cover of the cameras.
- Exaggerated figures are being given regarding the amount of theft. According to my information, this amount could be around Rs 3 crore. The figures being quoted more than this are wrong. I have no role in this entire matter.
- The Ram temple theft case has no connection with any political party or organization. On the question related to breaking the MPs or political allegations, he said that such allegations are completely baseless and I do not accept them.
- We have made public the complete details of 2,926 items. These include precious necklaces, padukas and other precious items. This question was raised by the Sindhi community as to where did the 200 gold bricks donated by them go. We had received their letter in this regard, to which we replied. Later the Sindhi community also wrote a letter to us saying that this was told to them by mistake.
- Dress code has been implemented for people going inside during the counting of donations. Now CCTV cameras cannot be switched off. Earlier, cash was counted sitting on the table, that system will also be changed. Besides, every person coming out will also be searched.
- Govind Dev Giri said that the SIT report is not the final truth. The SIT will have to prove its findings on the basis of evidence, only then the further situation will be clear.
