Sabarimala Gold Theft: Political Storm Brews, Congress Questioned
Share via WhatsApp
The recent theft of gold ornaments from the Sabarimala temple in Kerala has escalated into a major political controversy. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has directly implicated Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, alleging a connection between her and an individual accused in the case.
Kerala BJP leader K. Surendran has demanded a probe by a central agency, citing concerns that the state government is attempting to obstruct the investigation being conducted by the Special Investigation Team (SIT). The SIT itself has indicated the theft was a meticulously planned operation, suggesting organized involvement.
Opposition leader Satheesan has accused the state government of pressuring the SIT, further fueling suspicions of a cover-up. The BJP is now seeking a detailed explanation from the Congress party regarding meetings between the accused and Sonia Gandhi, claiming the stolen gold is ‘invaluable’ not just in monetary terms, but for its religious significance. The allegations have triggered a demand for transparency and a thorough investigation to uncover the full extent of the crime and any potential political connections.
