What is the role of Shiv Sena?

The construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and its conduct should be done in a transparent and honest manner.  “Ram temple is a matter of faith. The people have made donations out of faith. Even the Shiv Sena had contributed Rs one crore to the Trust,” Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said. “If the money collected out of faith is misused then what is the use of having faith? We need to know what is happening. We need to know whether the allegations are true or false,” he added.
