Ram Mandir Trust has accepted the resignations of Champat Rai and Anil Mishra : The Ram Mandir Trust has accepted the resignations of Champat Rai and Anil Mishra after a marathon meeting on the donation embezzlement case.
The Trust also broke its silence over the controversy.
Krishna Mohan is new interim chief.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust on Monday accepted the resignations of General Secretary Champat Rai and trustee Anil Mishra, appointed newly inducted trustee Krishna Mohan as the Interim General Secretary and announced a fresh administrative review as it sought to address the fallout from the alleged donation theft case.
The decisions were taken during a meeting that lasted for more than three hours inside the Ram Janmabhoomi complex in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya.
The Trust also announced that it would meet again on July 22, when it expects to review the Special Investigation Team's final report and appoint new trustees and office-bearers.
Addressing the media after the meeting, Trust treasurer
Swami Govind Dev Giri admitted that the controversy had deeply hurt the organisation.
"We are all hurt and saddened by this.
Whether the theft was small or large is secondary. What pains us is that such an atmosphere was allowed to develop here," he said.
RESIGNATIONS TAKE EFFECT UNDER TRUST RULES
Govind Giri said Champat Rai and Anil Mishra had submitted their resignations before the meeting.
According to him, Rai felt it would not be appropriate to continue as General Secretary until those responsible for the alleged theft were identified and punished.
"Champat Rai was deeply pained. He felt that until the culprits are caught and receive appropriate punishment, it would not be proper for him to continue," Govind Giri said.
He said the Trust had little discretion in the matter because its constitution treats a resignation as effective the moment it is submitted.
