Mumbai: Senior Shiv Sena (Uddhav Gut) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has taken a dig at PM Narendra Modi's degree. In an early morning tweet on Monday (April 3), Sanjay Raut was instructed to frame PM Modi's degree and hang it on the main door of the new Parliament House. Raut has written in his tweet that some people are calling PM Modi's degree fake. But I do believe that the degree in Entire Political Science is historic and revolutionary. It should be framed and hung at the main entrance of our new Parliament House so that people do not question the qualifications of the Prime Minister.

In fact, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal had sought details of PM Modi's degree through RTI from Gujarat University. In April 2016, the Central Information Commission (CIC) asked the university to provide information about PM Modi's degree to Kejriwal. After Gujarat University challenged the order of CIC in the Gujarat High Court, the High Court stayed the order of CIC. Now on Friday, the High Court rejected the CIC order refusing to give information related to the degree to the university and imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on Kejriwal. The court said that when the Prime Minister's degree is available on the university's website, what is the need for RTI propaganda? The court also reprimanded Kejriwal for politicising the matter.
Let us tell you that after this decision of the High Court, this issue has caught fire. Many leaders of opposition parties, including Shiv Sena's Raut, are now targeting the central government regarding Prime Minister Modi's degree.
