In today's India Upfront, Pranesh Kumar Roy examines the political storm over the Opposition's Ram Temple donation skit inside Parliament. Independent MP Pappu Yadav, joined by Opposition leaders, staged a symbolic performance alleging theft of donations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple, with Rahul Gandhi present during the protest.
