Claim
Trust president Mahant Nritya Gopal Das is ill, and his successor Mahant Kamal Nayan Das has said that all of them are dishonest.
“ट्रस्ट के अध्यक्ष महंत नृत्य गोपाल दास बीमार हैं। लेकिन उनके उत्तराधिकारी महंत कमल नयन दास ने कहा है कि सब के सब बेईमान हैं। हम किस-किस का नाम गिनाएं?”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Both parts of the claim are supported by wire and news reports as of the broadcast date. Nritya Gopal Das, president of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, was hospitalised at Medanta Lucknow (admitted June 29, 2026; ANI reported on July 2 that his condition was stable), so describing him as ill is correct. His designated successor Mahant Kamal Nayan Das, reacting to the Ram Mandir donation-misappropriation controversy in June 2026, was widely quoted saying the investigators themselves are dishonest — 'sab ke sab beimaan hain' — closely matching the anchor's quotation, including the refusal to name individuals ('whose names shall we count').
