Gujarat University files defamation case against Kejriwal in PM Modi degree case

The Hindu  

Gujarat University has sued Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and AAP’s MP Sanjay Singh with criminal defamation over their statements against the varsity over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s academic degree. Acting on the complaint, a local court in Ahmedabad has issued summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh for their alleged sarcastic and derogatory statements against Gujarat University over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s academic degree. The court has recorded the statements of four witnesses and analysed the statements and social media posts of both accused and noted, “A normal person can conclude that it is being implied that Gujarat University issues fake and bogus degrees and is associated with fraud activity.” “This is the prima facie reasoning that can be concluded.” The court has accepted the contention of the complainant that accused Mr. Kejriwal made the statements in his “personal capacity” and therefore the court also ordered to delete ‘Chief Minister’ from Mr. Kejriwal’s name in the cause title of the case. The court has also noted that the order of the High Court was clear that the Gujarat University had already published the Prime Minister’s degree on its website and still the accused sued held a press conference and made statements which were circulated on social media platforms like Twitter.
