The Gujarat High Court on Friday ruled that the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) need not furnish the degree and post-graduate degree certificate of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pertinently, the Court also imposed costs of Rs 25,000 on Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal who had sought details of the PM’s degree certificate.
Single-judge Justice Biren Vaishnav set aside the order of the Chief Information Commission (CIC) directing the public information officer (PIO) of PMO and the PIOs of Gujarat University and Delhi University to furnish details of Modi’s graduate and postgraduate degrees.
Reacting to the decision, Kejriwal asked, doesn’t the country even have the right to know how much qualified their PM is and those who are demanding to see his degree are being fined
