Claim
The trust deed clearly states that removing Champat Rai from the general secretary post requires the Trust to pass a resolution.
“जिसमें साफ-साफ लिखा है कि... अब उस पद से हटाने के लिए भी ट्रस्ट को रेजोल्यूशन पास करना होगा।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Contemporaneous reporting around the broadcast date (July 2, 2026) consistently states that under the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust deed, Champat Rai can only be relieved of the general secretary post through a formal decision of the Trust — his resignation/removal must be approved by a two-thirds majority of trust members, which is why the Trust convened a meeting on July 6 to pass such a resolution. The anchor's statement that the trust deed requires the Trust to pass a resolution to remove him from the post matches this reporting. Confidence is not higher because the trust deed text itself is not public and no dedicated fact-check (AltNews, BOOM, Factly, etc.) has examined the specific clause.
