Make Narendra Modi’s degree public, Kejriwal asks Delhi University

Kejriwal questioned, ‘if Modi didn't obtain a BA degree, how could he get a post-graduation degree.’

A day after the Aam Aadmi Party claimed that Delhi University has refused to share information on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s graduation degree, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to Vice Chancellor, asking them to make the records public and ‘settle the controversy’.

In the letter, written in Hindi, Kejriwal says, "It is said that Mr Modi has not studied in Delhi University."

In the letter, which was posted on Twitter by Kejriwal on Thursday, he questioned, “If Modi didn't obtain a BA degree, how could he get a post-graduation degree.”

Referring to reports that the documents are not in safe custody, the AAP chief urged the VC to take steps to secure them and upload them on website.

"One English daily has reported that his degree is not secure and an accident may happen. This gives rise to another suspicion as to whether a ground for an accident is being prepared then?

"I urge you to take steps for these documents to be secured. It will be better if these documents are put online. Do the people of this country have the right to know the education qualifications of their PM? If there are serious allegations concerning his degree then the truth should emerge," Kejriwal said.

On Wednesday, Kejriwal had said that Delhi University was refusing to show records of Narendra Modi's degree as he never graduated from it.

Three Aam Aadmi Party leaders had on Wednesday met Delhi University Registrar to seek proof of Modi's graduation degree and claimed that the varsity asked them to approach the PMO for the information.

 

The AAP leaders' visit to the university came a week after the Central Information Commission directed DU and Gujarat University to provide the information to Kejriwal, who had recently criticised the functioning of the transparency panel.

Gujarat University had on Sunday said Modi had an MA degree and had scored 62.3 per cent as an external student of the varsity.

AAP has been attacking the Prime Minister over the issue ever since Kejriwal wrote a letter to Information Commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu demanding that the CIC order on disclosure of educational qualifications of Modi.
