Modi's degree row intensifies as AAP says documents produced by BJP fake

"Arvind Kejriwal has been spreading lies about the Prime Minister's credentials. He has tried to defame the PM. He should apologise not only to the PM but the entire nation," said BJP chief Amit Shah.

Jaitley, who was also at the press conference, said, "It is public discourse at its lowest ever. This from a political party whose leaders are being prosecuted and investigated," added union minister Arun Jaitley, who shared memories of Mr Modi coming to take his Delhi University exams during the Emergency of 1975-77.

"I knew this because I was the student union leader in Delhi University soon after the Emergency," Jaitley said.

Copies of the PM's degree were distributed to journalists. Amit Shah said it was a "shame that something like this required clarification."

But soon, the AAP held a counter press conference, where party leader Asutosh claimed that all the documents produced by the BJP leaders were 'forged.'

"I have the two degrees that BJP released at the presser. I have the mark sheet too.BA degree says Narendra Kumar DamodarDas Modi and MA degree says Narendra Damodardas Modi. How is this possible?" he asked.

Asutosh said if at all Modi had changed his name, then there should have been an affidavit.

He said the graduating year on marksheet is different from the year on degree certificate.
