BJP Kerala Yuva Morcha protests outside Sonia Gandhi’s house over Sabarimala gold theft case

NEW DELHI: (Feb 28) The Kerala unit of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of the BJP, on Friday staged a protest outside senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's residence here, demanding a CBI probe into the alleged gold theft case linked to the Sabarimala temple in the southern state.

According to an official release by the party, the protest was led by BJP MP and former Union minister Anurag Thakur, who alleged that meetings between Gandhi and the prime accused in the case, Unnikrishnan Potti, raised “serious and troubling questions”.

Addressing party workers, Thakur alleged that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the alleged theft of gold from the temple had been ineffective, and called for the case to be handed over to the CBI.
