Kejriwal asks Tomar to explain allegations over his fake law degree
New Delhi, Apr 28 (IBNS): Following a controversy over Jitender Singh Tomar's law degree, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday asked the Law Minister to explain allegations that he faked his degree.
The Congress party earlier in the day demanded Tomar's resignation over a fresh controversy on his law degree.
"AAP Delhi Law Minister's Law Degree found fake-Should be sacked immediately&vacate Assembly seat for fresh election," Congress leader Ajay Maken tweeted.
Hitting out at Kejriwal, he said: "AAP Law Minister #FakeDegree - Will Kejriwal apologise again/ take moral responsibility & step down?Will demonstrate at CM office on 30th."
"AAP's new age Political Culture- Law Minister's #FakeDegree- Y'day 21 MLAs elevated as Parliamentary Secretaries- #PowerHungryAAP," Maken said.
BJP leader Meenakashi Lekhi said: "Innovative genius casts a shadow on a political outfit, from farmers death to fake degrees of a minister, #AAP s exposed Delhi's wondering."
Tomar has rejected opposition calls for his resignation.
"A fabricated case based on lies cannot be a reason to resign. My degree is 100 per cent genuine, I have all documents to prove it," he told reporters.
Tomar found himself amid a controversy after Bihar's Tilak Manjhi Bhagalpur University filed an inquiry report in the Delhi High Court and said the Minister's provisional certificate is 'fabricated'.
The university reportedly told the court that the serial number in the certificate as showed in its record was of another person.
