Smriti Irani appeals to reinstate suspended DU officials

Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani today sent out a tweet appealing for the reinstatement of the five officials who were suspended for leaking her documents. Irani sent a tweet this morning appealing to the Vice Chancellor saying, "Since DU is an autonomous institution I have put forth my personal appeal to the VC to reinstate the officials."

In a second tweet she said, "In public life one should be open to scrutiny and criticism. So am I."

The HRD minister and former popular actress has been in the midst of a storm over her educational qualifications after Congress leader Ajay Maken sent out a tweet questioning her educational qualification. Five DU officials were suspended yesterday for allegedly leaking the documents related to Smriti Irani's qualification.
