Ayodhya: Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Mishra on Saturday said the alleged donation theft at the Ayodhya temple was a disgraceful blot (kalank), and everyone felt utterly humiliated because of it.
He expressed confidence, however, that the temple management system would be improved to avoid a repeat of such incidents.
Mishra arrived in Ayodhya on Friday for the first day of the Ram Temple Construction Committee's meeting.
"This (alleged donation theft) is a disgrace, and we all are not just apologetic but feeling humiliated and let down by it," Mishra told reporters ahead of the second day of the committee's meeting.
"This is (now) an issue pertaining to temple management, and the management would surely be improved to guard against a repeat of this (alleged donation theft)," he said.
