Your leaders will show their degree everyday to you. I have a BA degree from Delhi University and two Master&#8217;s degree from Oxford. All of them are original,&#8221; Atishi told reporters in Delhi today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to ask all leaders to show their degrees, especially BJP leaders,&#8221; she said, adding AAP leaders will show their degree as part of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The recent high court order added to the controversy over the AAP&#8217;s aggressive campaign highlighting PM Modi&#8217;s education. The party had put up posters in many cities targeting PM Modi.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, responding to Mr Kejriwal&#8217;s Right to Information (RTI) request for details on PM Modi&#8217;s education details, the then Central Information Commission M Sridhar Acharyulu told the Prime Minister&#8217;s Office, Gujarat University and Delhi University to give details about PM Modi&#8217;s graduation and postgraduation degrees.<\/p>\n<p>The Gujarat University put up PM Modi&#8217;s degree on its website immediately, but at the same time, challenged the Information Commission&#8217;s order as a matter of principle.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling BJP shared copies of what it said were PM Modi&#8217;s degrees &#8211; a BA from Delhi University and MA in Political Science from Gujarat University. Mr Kejriwal had claimed there were &#8220;glaring discrepancies&#8221; in the documents.<\/p>\n<p>In the Gujarat High Court, the government&#8217;s lawyer Tushar Mehta said the two universities should not be compelled to disclose the information. &#8220;In a democracy, there won&#8217;t be a difference if a person holding the office is a doctorate or an illiterate. Also, there is no public interest involved in this issue. Even his privacy is affected,&#8221; the top government lawyer said, insisting that the information on PM Modi&#8217;s degrees had no bearing on his role.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kejriwal&#8217;s lawyer countered that election nomination forms listed educational qualifications and it was a legitimate thing to ask. &#8220;We are asking for a degree certificate, not his mark sheet,&#8221; said Percy Kavina, the AAP&#8217;s lawyer, in the Gujarat High Court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/aaps-show-your-degree-campaign-days-after-arvind-kejriwal-court-setback-3933208\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] AAP MLA Atishi shows her college degree at a news conference in Delhi New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched a &#8220;show your degree&#8221; campaign and challenged BJP leaders to do the same.
