Taking note of these facts, the magistrate opined that the accused politicians were well-educated political office bearers who are aware of the effect of their statements on the public at large, the judge had further pointed out.
If political office bearers, instead of fulfilling their duty to their people, do any work for their personal enmity or selfishness, it is considered a violation of the trust of the people, the ACMM court added.
Notably, the university has taken exception to the following statements of Kejriwal, which he made after the Gujarat High Court judgment:
“Degree kuch idhar-udhar hai. Agar degree hai aur woh sahi hai toh degree de kyu nhi rahe hai ? Gujarat Vishwavidyalaya aur Delhi Vishwavidyalaya aakhir degree ki jaankari kyu nahi de rahe hai? Shayad is liye nahi de rahe hai kyunki ho sakta hai ke degree shayad farzi ho, ya nakli ho. Agar Pradhan Mantri Delhi ya Gujarat Vishwavidyalaya se padhe hai toh Gujarat Vishwavidyalaya ne toh celebrate karna chahiye ke humara ladka hai jo desh ka Pradhan Mantri ban gya. Wo unki degree ko chhupane ki koshish kar rahe hai.”
(Translation: There is something wrong. If there is a degree, then why aren’t they giving the degree? Why are Delhi and Gujarat Universities not giving out the copies of the degrees? May be because the degree is bogus or fake. If the Prime Minister has studied from Delhi University or Gujarat University, then they ought to celebrate the fact that he is their student, who has now become the Prime Minister. But they are hiding the degrees.)
