Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Mishra says allegations of “donation theft” connected to the Ayodhya Ram temple are a “disgrace” and that those involved feel humiliated. Speaking in Ayodhya during the committee’s meetings, he links the matter to temple management, saying it should be handled through improvements in systems to prevent any repeat of such incidents. Mishra indicates confidence that the temple’s management processes will be strengthened, noting that the issue is now treated as a management concern rather than something separate from oversight.

He also reiterates his earlier position on the need for a temple trust CEO and says a high-level committee has been formed to recommend a suitable name. His comments are made as the Ram Temple Construction Committee continues its meetings, with Mishra having arrived in Ayodhya for the first day and speaking again before the second day.

The two reports present the same core statements from Mishra: he condemns the alleged episode, expresses personal and collective humiliation, and points to organizational steps, including management reforms and the process to appoint leadership.
