00:03Stay tuned here on India Today.
00:04We are giving you a wide coverage of what precisely is happening in Ayodhya
00:08and why this is so crucial.
00:09It is about devotees in millions, not just in India but globally,
00:13who want to be assured that the top of the trust members
00:18across political spectrum will ensure that the devotees' faith
00:22and their donations will be taken care of
00:23and this theft cannot be accepted at all.
00:26Fate of Champath Rai will be decided.
00:28He is not a formal accused but it is the moral obligation,
00:31the responsibility on his.
00:38That's Samar Srivastava.
00:39He is trying to tell us the latest about who is arriving
00:42because from the latest what he has shown to us
00:44and I will go across to him in just a short while.
00:46Govind Dev Giri is about to arrive.
00:49Samar continues to be with us.
00:51Samar, tell us about who all are there,
00:54who have arrived already, who are leaving.
01:02Well, Pooja, I must tell you that almost all the members have reached for that particular meeting
01:07but the point is out here that the police security is exceeding out here
01:12because what we are getting is that Nrithya Gopal Das,
01:15the main person, the point person of the temple trust is about to leave from here.
01:21As you can see, the heavy police security anytime from now,
01:27Nrithya Gopal Das will be leaving from here
01:32and that's why the security has been beefed up.
01:37The most likely pictures will be of Nrithya Gopal Das.
01:40Back to you.
01:41Go with the visuals.
01:42Sir, Samar Srivastava is showing us the details.
01:45That's the latest.
01:45Another trust member who's leaving.
01:47Samar, keep telling us.
01:49Keep telling us who's leaving, who's arrived,
01:51how many members are likely to be
01:53because I'm also interested in the quorum.
01:54There will have to be two-third majority.
02:24Nrithya Gopal Das
02:27Nrithya Gopal Das
02:28now is left for the
02:29Baitak.
02:31There is a big update here.
02:33There is a letter on the back of it.
02:35And then Nrithya Gopal Das
02:40is left here.
02:40So, the Baitak is a
02:43Nrithya Gopal Das
02:44and the Adhyakshki is
02:45and now the Baitak is more important.
02:47Now, let's see,
02:49what is the meaning of the
02:50Anil Mishra and the
02:52Anil Mishra?
02:52Or is the meaning of the
02:53Nrithya Gopal Das
02:55temple trust
02:56temple trust
02:57temple trust
02:58temple trust

03:05Samar Srivastava
03:06Ayodhya, today
03:11Samar Srivastava
03:12telling us about who all are leaving from
03:14the location. So in the next 5 to 10 minutes
03:17I believe that the meeting
03:18is set to begin. Remember why
03:20is this important? There have not just been
03:22allegations of theft
03:24there have been devotees who
03:26have been concerned by the allegations that
03:28have come in and have come forth to
03:30claim that some of their donations allegedly
03:32also has been missing, to which the
03:34trust has given clarification. One of
03:36them was former Home Secretary S. Lakshmina
03:39Rayanan who said 5 crore rupees worth of
03:40gold plated Ram Charitramanas
03:42went missing, to which the trust
03:44has clarified that it has been kept safely
03:46in a ward. Samar Srivastava
03:48with all the latest. Samar, as you continue to
03:50stay with us, just a quick
03:52background I want to bring to the viewer
03:54who's in the Ram temple trust
03:56so who are going to be there. Mahant Nitya Gopal
03:58Das, he's the chairperson.
04:00Champath Rai, who was the General Secretary
04:02until now and official resignation
04:04is going to be accepted. K. Parsaran
04:06the founding trustee.
04:09Swami Govindev Giri
04:10who's been the treasurer, he has said
04:12he's going to be answering most of the questions.
04:14Nripendra Misra has been a popular name.
04:16He's been part of the Ram temple construction
04:18committee as a chairperson
04:19primarily involved with the construction
04:22part of it. So the names there on your screen
04:24one by one of the individuals
04:25who've been associated with
04:27the trust, who will be present
04:29and will need a two-third majority.
04:32Shankaracharya Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati
04:34is also a trustee, he'll be there.
04:36Madhavacharya Swami Vishwa
04:39Prasarantarita trustee, also will be there.
04:41Anil Mishra, again
04:42like Champath Rai, is most likely
04:44to step down, will be asked with a two-third
04:46majority, can leave his position.
04:48Can also be asked to let go
04:50of the lifetime membership.
04:52Vasudevanand Saraswati
04:54also is a trustee, he's going to be there.
04:56Mahanta Dinendra Das,
04:58Krishna Mohan is going to be
05:00there as well. We're also, we believe
05:02that there are going to be IAS officers,
05:04the district magistrate, also
05:06as part of the team, are going
05:08to be present in that meeting.
05:09Samarj Srivastav continues to be with us.
05:11But it's going to be an important day, ladies and gentlemen.
05:14One, it is about posturing.
05:15It's about optics as much to showcase
05:17that the trust in itself wants to come forth,
05:20ensure that there's an independent
05:22decision taken, because the one
05:24question that everyone wants to know is
05:25the five accused who have been arrested.
05:27Is it just about them? Is it just accounting staff?
05:29Is it just a small fish who's been arrested?
05:32Or does the nexus go till the top?
05:34That's what the trust will have to
05:36really make it clear to devotees watching.
05:39Samarj Srivastav continues to be with us.
05:41Samarj, isn't it?
05:42I think the responsibility of the trust
05:44is also about ensuring that
05:46the small fish have been arrested,
05:49but the innocent.
05:51Go ahead, tell us who's leaving now.
05:52See how you are.
05:53Look at what you are.
05:56The most important part of the temple trust
06:00is here.
06:02And their car is straight away.
06:06To be able to come back to them.
06:07This is a big update.
06:09The temple trust that is now
06:14the most important part of the temple trust.
06:19foreign
06:44Thank you very much.
06:51After that, there are many signs.
06:53What is the meaning of these signs?
06:54They will be clean in a few days.
06:56With the cameraman Gaurav, Samar Srivastava.
07:21His lifetime membership also is going to go away.
07:23Now, if you're wondering why him,
07:25if there are no direct allegations against him,
07:27it's because he was at the authority
07:28where that supervision was important.
07:31Also, at least two of the accused,
07:33who have been arrested,
07:34were directly known to Champathrai
07:37and were his close associates.
07:39And that is why all the eyes will be
07:41on what his fate is going to be.
07:43It's held inside the premises of the Ram Mandir
07:45in Ayodhya, where the trust meeting
07:47is scheduled to begin in just a short while.
07:49Exit of both office bearers, Anil Mishra, Champathrai,
07:52will be where the fate will be decided.
07:55Most likely, according to our sources,
07:56they're on their way out.
07:58The resignations will have to be accepted,
08:00but they will also be given a chance
08:02to present their view
08:03because the charges are against them
08:05or at least believed to be.
08:07Two-third majority is required for their ouster.
08:09So the quorum will have to be justified
08:11about who all are attending.
08:12That's why we're telling you
08:13who all have left, who have arrived.
08:15Let's say, let's assume that Champathrai
08:17with two-third majority is removed.
08:20What happens then?
08:21You need a vacancy to be filled in.
08:23Bajranglal Baghdad,
08:24the International General Secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad,
08:27according to our sources,
08:28is emerging as the front-runner
08:29and has enough administrative experience.
