The Hindu··28 Jun
Andhra Pradesh Congress vice-president Kolanukonda Shivaji demanded a judicial inquiry into alleged irregularities in Ayodhya Ram temple donations, saying only a sitting judge-led probe could restore trust. He questioned the silence of NDA leaders in Andhra Pradesh and sought action against Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust general secretary Champat Rai.
