AAP leader Sanjay Singh said the Prime Minister has mentioned in his affidavit that he passed his BA in 1978 from Delhi University through Distance Education Learning and MA in 1983 from the Gujarat University.
"People asked questions through RTI from the PMO, Delhi and Gujarat universities. All said they cannot share details.
"I hope after the CIC ordered the Delhi and Gujarat universities, the PMO share details of his BA and MA degree." he said.
Central Information Commission yesterday directed Delhi University and Gujarat University to provide information on degrees earned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who had criticised the functioning of the transparency panel.
"There is a case of HRD Minister Smriti Irani. Then degrees of some (BJP) ministers from Maharashtra and Goa were also under scanner.
"But now the question is about the degrees of Prime Minister. He should not have even taken even three minutes (to share the details). The more he delays, the suspicion will only grow stronger.
"If it comes to light that the PM has lied over his degree then its a serious issue," Singh said.
