Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has defended the government's response to allegations of embezzlement of donations for the Ram Temple. He stated that action was initiated immediately after a Special Investigation Team (SIT) submitted its report, leading to the arrest of those responsible.

Adityanath warned against using the controversy to target Ayodhya or the devotees of Lord Ram. He urged opposition parties to present any evidence they have directly to the SIT, rather than making accusations that could harm the city's reputation or its religious significance.

"Do not cast an evil eye on Ayodhya. Do not test Ram's devotees," Adityanath declared, directly addressing the criticism. His remarks came as the government moved to address the controversy surrounding the temple donations.

Do not cast an evil eye on Ayodhya. Do not test Ram's devotees. If there is evidence, present it before the SIT.
