Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati has questioned the FIR in the Ram Temple donation embezzlement case, alleging it targets only lower-level employees while sparing those responsible for larger wrongdoing. He criticized the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust's functioning, claiming it disregarded religious traditions and was politically influenced. The seer also accused the BJP of having fake Hindutva, urging voters to support candidates committed to Sanatan Dharma.
