Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has asked the Central Information Commission (CIC) to make public details of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's educational qualification. In a letter to the CIC, the Delhi CM has requested the agency that information about PM's educational degrees should be brought in the public domain to eliminate any confusion over the issue.

Kejriwal's letter, a copy of which has been accessed by India Today, is in response to CIC's query whether details about his educational qualification should be released.

"According to some reports (details are attached), Prime Minister Narendra Modi is preventing the concerned department from releasing details about his educational qualification. Allegations are being made that the PM has no qualification and degree at all," the letter in Hindi stated.

"The people of this country want to know the truth. Why are you not releasing the documents related to Modis educational qualifications? This is wrong," it added.

Kejriwal, in his letter addressed to Central Information Commissioner Professor Madabhushanam Sridhar Acharyulu, has also raised questions about the central panel's working. "You want all details about my educational qualifications but information about the PM's degrees are being kept secret. This certainly raises questions over CIC's autonomy," it said.

In his election affidavit, PM Modi had claimed that he completed a distance education course in political science from Delhi University in 1978. Earlier this month, the Delhi University had also rejected an RTI plea seeking information on Modi's bachelor of arts degree.

Earlier, Gujarat University had refused to divulge information related to the PM's masters degree, saying that the marksheet and other details were personal information.
