A group of AAP leaders who visited Delhi University on 10 May to check Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bachelor of Arts degree said they had been asked to return on Wednesday.
AAP leaders leaders Ashutosh, Sanjay Singh, Dilip Pandey and Ashish Khetan were not allowed by university authorities to meet Vice Chancellor Yogesh Tyagi.
AAP leader Ashish Khetan said at the campus that they were told that Tyagi was busy and that they should return on Wednesday.
It is a matter of the Prime Minister’s degree and it is the Vice Chancellor’s responsibility to present the truth.Ashish Khetan, AAP leader
After Police personnel reached the site in large numbers, the AAP leaders left.
Reports have claimed that Delhi University has clarified that Modi’s certificates are authentic and added that he received his degree in 1979.
On Monday, BJP president Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley presented Modi’s B.A. and M.A. degrees and accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of telling lies on the issue.
The AAP, however, pointed out what it said were anomalies in the marksheets accompanying the B.A. and M.A. degrees while Kejriwal insisted that the degrees shown by Shah and Jaitley were fake.
