My statement on Yale was misconstrued: Irani
Irani tweeted: "Unfortunate that statement re my participation in a leadership program & certificate thereafter was misconstrued."
Triggering a controversy, the actor-turned-politician recently asserted that she also has a degree from the Yale University in the US.
After the Lok Sabha polls results were declared in May, Irani found herself in mid of a row as it emerged that she had made contradictory declarations when she contested the parliamentary polls in 2004 and 2014.
Congress leader Ajay Maken sparked a political controversy by questioning Irani's education qualification.
"What a Cabinet of Modi?HRD Minister (Looking after Education) Smriti Irani is not even a graduate!Look at her affidavit at ECI site pg 11!" Maken had tweeted.
