Claim
The Trust deed also states that removing a trustee requires a two-thirds majority of members.
“ईड में यह भी लिखा है कि किसी ट्रस्टी को हटाने के लिए दो तिहाई सदस्यों का बहुमत होना चाहिए।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The claim refers to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust deed/bylaws amid the Champat Rai–Anil Mishra resignation row. Multiple contemporaneous reports (Amar Ujala, NewsX, Dynamite News, around 2026-07-01/02) confirm the trust's rules require a two-thirds majority of trustees to accept a resignation or relieve an office-bearer, matching the anchor's statement. One nuance: reports say an office-bearer can only be removed from their post, remaining a lifetime trust member, so 'removing a trustee' is a slight simplification. The primary trust deed text is not publicly available and no dedicated fact-check exists, keeping confidence moderate.
