Discussions on the selection of a new General Secretary for the Ayodhya Ram Temple Trust remain inconclusive, with no final consensus reached despite prolonged deliberations. According to sources, the trust's recent meeting included detailed discussions on the appointment of new office-bearers, but no official announcement was made regarding the General Secretary.
According to the information available, the selection process became complicated after three names emerged for two positions. As a result, the final decision has been deferred for the time being. Sources associated with the trust said efforts are being made to build consensus by taking into account the views of all stakeholders to avoid any future differences.
Sources said that the priorities of stakeholders associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) are understood to differ. However, neither the organisations nor the trust have officially confirmed these claims. The trust has indicated only that the decision will be taken through consensus.
During the meeting, discussions were also held on the trust's administrative work, development of the temple complex, facilities for devotees, and future plans. Members expressed their views on the selection of office-bearers, but it was felt that further deliberations were required before taking a final decision on the post of General Secretary.
According to sources, the trust wants to appoint a General Secretary who has the unanimous support of all members. For this reason, emphasis is being placed on achieving broad consensus rather than making a hurried decision.
The post of General Secretary is considered important for the trust's administrative and organisational functions. Following the completion of the temple's construction, the position plays a key role in coordinating the growing number of devotees, the execution of various projects, and the trust's regular operations. The trust leadership is therefore seeking consensus on a candidate acceptable to all stakeholders.
For now, the announcement of appointments to the post of General Secretary and other positions has been deferred until the next meeting or until consensus is reached. Attention is now focused on the trust's forthcoming meeting and official announcement, where a final decision on these appointments may be made.
