Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has urged Ram devotees to remain patient amid the Ayodhya Ram Mandir ‘fund theft’, asking them to "wait 15 more days" until the SIT completes its investigation. He assured that the probe would be fair and transparent, saying it would reveal the truth. The Chief Minister appealed to anyone with documentary evidence to submit it to the SIT and requested all sides to avoid unnecessary statements that could influence the investigation or hurt the sentiments of devotees. He also warned against attempts to defame Ayodhya and the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, promising strict action against anyone found guilty.
