#NewDelhi : The Central Information Commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu also directed the Prime Minister’s Office to provide “specific number and year” of the degrees of Prime Minister to his alma mater– Delhi University and Gujarat University– to make it easy for them to locate these records.
The Central Information Commission (CIC) Friday directed Delhi University and Gujarat University to search and provide information on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s degrees to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The order comes a day after Kejriwal criticised the CIC saying while it wanted him to provide information regarding his electoral photo identity card, it was “obstructing information” about PM Narendra Modi’s degrees.
Taking the unusual step of considering Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s response as an “application under RTI in his capacity as a citizen”, Information Commissioner M Sridhar Acharyulu also directed the Prime Minister’s Office to provide “specific number and year” of PM Narendra Modi’s degree and PG degree to Delhi University and Gujarat University “so that it will be easy for them to search and provide any documents relating to it”.
Reached for comment after the order, Acharyulu said: “I cannot comment anything about my order.”
In a tweet, #Delhi CM #ArvindKejriwal said, “We welcome CIC decision. All speculations wud be put to rest now.”
