| Rs 25,000 fine for asking for Modi's degree: 'Doesn't the country have the right to know how educated the Prime Minister is?' |
In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's degree has been part of the political debate. However, a new twist in this debate came when Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's raised the same question before the court became expensive.
The High Court of the Indian state of Gujarat has also cast doubt on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's intentions while fining him Rs 25,000 for asking for details of Narendra Modi's degree.
The court said that why did Kejriwal feel the need to make such a matter controversial when the Prime Minister's degrees have already been made public.
It should be noted that the Aam Aadmi Party has questioned Narendra Modi's educational qualifications in the past as well and in 2016, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal formally requested the Central Information Commission that the Prime Minister under the Right to Information Act. Be ordered to provide the degree information.
However, India's ruling party, BJP, while releasing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BA and MA degrees, demanded Arvind Kejriwal apologize to Narendra Modi for calling his degrees fake.
However, in response to Kejriwal's request, India's Central Information Commission (CIC) along with the Prime Minister's Office ordered Delhi and Gujarat universities to award Modi's degrees.
In its order, the Gujarat court also held that clauses of Section 8(1)(e) and (j) of the RTI Act in the case of the Prime Minister displaying his academic degrees in the absence of any overriding public interest. Exempted from disclosure under s.
"Doesn't the country have the right to know how educated the Prime Minister is?"
During the hearing, strong remarks were made by Justice Vishnu of the one-member bench.
"Arvind Kejriwal's insistence on getting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's academic degree through RTI raises doubts about his integrity and motive as they (degrees) are already in the public domain," he said.
According to the court, Arvind Kejriwal has undoubtedly initiated a controversy by using the appeal against him which does not come under the purview of the RTI Act and for what purpose he has done so, this court No need to go.'
Gujarat University promptly put Prime Minister Modi's degree on its website in 2016 but also challenged the Information Commission's order on principle.
At the same time, the ruling party BJP has also shared its copies. Arvind Kejriwal then claimed that there were "glaring contradictions" in the documents.
After the recent verdict of the Gujarat High Court, Arvind Kejriwal tweeted asking 'Doesn't the country have the right to know how educated the Prime Minister is?'
He said that why did he strongly oppose showing his degree in the court and the person who demands to see his degree will be fined? What is happening? An uneducated or less-educated prime minister is extremely dangerous for the country.
Ever since the court verdict and Arvind Kejriwal's tweet, 'Degree' has been trending on Indian social media and a heated debate is going on.
Some people on social media are responding with pictures of the Prime Minister's degrees while others are asking other questions.
According to the news agency ANI, BJP leader and spokesperson Sambat Patra said that the Gujarat High Court has imposed a fine of 25 thousand rupees on Arvind Kejriwal and this is not a new thing, it has happened before. They are disappointed because their ministers are behind bars and they are not getting bail from the court.
In the context of the Prime Minister's educational qualification, the posters seen in many places in Delhi have asked that 'Should the Prime Minister of India be educated?'
Shashank Shekharjha is a Supreme Court lawyer. He replied to Arvind Kejriwal's tweet by uploading pictures of the Prime Minister's BA and MA degrees and wrote, "Gujarat University has informed the Gujarat High Court that Narendra Modiji's degree is available on their website. After this, the Gujarat High Court rejected the order of the CIC and imposed a fine of 25 thousand rupees on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Many pro-BJP Twitter users have posted these degrees of the Prime Minister of India, which has raised another question as to whether one can do an MA in 'entire political science' and where.
When this matter was going on, Professor Ashok Swain tweeted that "No one in the world has a degree in entire political science except Modi." And this is not a joke.
Participating in a heated debate on social media, well-known Indian journalist Ravish Kumar presented an old news clip in which he is explaining the entire political science that actually Gujarat holds a degree in 'Samppuran Rajya Shastra' which is directly It has been translated into whole political science.
He also points out that in Hindi Rajya Shastra is replaced by Rajneeti Shastra.
Be that as it may, the Aam Aadmi Party has launched a national campaign against Prime Minister Modi, as part of which thousands of posters opposing him have been put up.
The Aam Aadmi Party, in a statement, said the campaign was aimed at targeting the BJP government and its policies that have "failed to address the problems faced by the Aam Aadmi".
