Smriti Irani fake degree row: Patiala House Court to pronounce order today
The Patiala House Court will Thursday pronounce its order on whether to summon Union Textile Minister Smriti Irani on a complaint filed against her
The Patiala House Court will Thursday pronounce its order on whether to summon Union Textile Minister Smriti Irani on a complaint filed against her for allegedly giving false information regarding her academic qualifications. Irani had given information about her educational qualifications in affidavits to the Election Commission to contest various elections.
In June last year, a case was filed by freelance writer Ahmed Khan, who accused Irani of providing contradictory affidavits about her educational qualifications during different elections.
Khan’s lawyer had informed the court that Irani, in her affidavit for 2004 Lok Sabha elections, stated her educational qualification as B.A. from Delhi University (school of correspondence).
However, while filing affidavit in her Rajya Sabha nomination papers from Gujarat in 2011, she said her highest educational qualification was B.com, Part 1 (correspondence course) from Delhi University.
