AAP launches ‘degree dikhao’ campaign

New Delhi, April 9

A week after the Gujarat High Court (HC) set aside the order of Chief Information Commission (CIC) over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s educational degrees, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today kicked off ‘Degree Dikhao’ campaign.

Under the campaign, AAP leaders would publicly share their educational qualifications every day. Delhi Education Minister Atishi showed her UG degree from the University of Delhi and two PG degrees from the University of Oxford during a press conference today.

While sharing her degrees, Atishi said, “I am starting the campaign by sharing my three degrees. All political leaders of the country should come forward and show their degrees to the public so that the citizens of the country can know how educated their leaders are?”

Targeting the BJP, she said if their senior politicians had UG or PG degrees, they should show them to the public. “When we reach a prestigious or constitutional position, it reflects on our alma mater. It also fills our fellow students with pride and motivates students from where the person in Constitutional position completed his/her higher studies.”
