Delhi Education Minister starts 'show degree campaign', urges politicians, including BJP leaders, to show graduation certificate

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Education Minister Atishi has come up with a new campaign amid a backlash from the court for demanding the Prime Minister's graduation certificate. She started the Degree Dikhao Abhiyan (show degree campaign), which is asking politicians including BJP leaders to display their degree certificates in public. Atishi displayed her undergraduate and postgraduate certificates from Delhi University and Oxford University as part of the campaign. Targeting the Prime Minister, she demanded that BJP leaders also participate in this.

"I have done BA from DU and two master's degrees from Oxford University, I am presenting these three degrees in front of the country and I am appealing to all the leaders of the country, especially the senior BJP leaders to show their degrees," Atishi said.

"From today onwards we are starting 'Degree Dikhao Abhiyan' (Degree-showing campaign) and from today onwards all our leaders will show their degrees every day, I am starting the campaign by showing my three degrees," she said.

"Today, if someone goes to our university, they will proudly show our degree then why Gujarat University is having a problem in showing the Prime Minister's degree?", she further asked.

Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal had earlier hinted that the Aam Aadmi Party would not back down from the issue even after the court fined it for demanding the education records of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Criticizing the court verdict, the Delhi Chief Minister said that anyone can fool an uneducated Prime Minister.
