Rahul Gandhi attacks PM Modi over fake degrees
‘Fast entry gates’ of ministries "open for those who possess fake degrees" under the Modi government, Congress president Rahul Gandhi alleged on Friday. Gandhi also attacked the RSS and said its "farjical (fake) strike" continues on educational institutes of the Delhi University.
The Congress president took to Twitter and said," Shri chappan aur unke mantriyon ne chatron ko dikhaya hai ki BJP mai mantrimandal ka shighra dwar farzi degree dikha kar khulta hai. ('Mr 56' and his ministers have shown students that under the BJP fast entry gates of ministries open for those who possess fake degrees)."
"The RSS' has an old tradition of attacking educational institutions and helping those with fake degrees attain power. That is why the 'farjical strikes' of RSS continue on Delhi University," he tweeted in Hindi.
Tweeting a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with Union minister Smriti Irani and ABVP's Delhi University president Ankiv Baisoya, Gandhi alleged "Fake degree is in BJP's DNA".
There was no immediate comment from the Prime Minister's Office or the BJP.
Baisoya has stepped down from his post after reports of him possessing a fake degree.
DUSU president Baisoya has resigned from his post after it asked him to do so and has also been suspended from the students’ outfit till an inquiry into allegations that he gained admission to the Delhi University on the basis of a fake degree, the ABVP said on Thursday.
The move drew criticism from the NSUI and AISA, which claimed it was done under pressure ahead of the high court hearing on November 20.
The RSS-affiliated Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) however, said the decision was taken to maintain the "genuineness" of the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU).
