A Gujarat Court issued fresh summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Admi Party’s Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh to appear before it on June 7 in regard to a criminal defamation case lodged by the Gujarat University over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s academic degree.
This comes after the duo failed to appear in court on May 23, as per the previous summon. Following which, the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate SJ Panchal summoned the Delhi CM and Sanjay Singh.
AAP’s legal cell head for Gujarat, Pranav Thakkar said that the party leaders have not received the summons issued by the court.
The court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jayesh Chovatiya had earlier issued summons to the duo in a criminal defamation complaint for their statements against the Gujarat University over PM Modi’s academic degree.
The comments attributed to Kejriwal and quoted by the complainant are, “If there is a degree and it is genuine, then why is it not being given?”, “They are not giving degree because it might be fake,” and “If the prime minister studied at Delhi University and Gujarat University, then Gujarat University should celebrate that its student became the country’s PM”.
