PM's degree authentic, says DU
Downplaying allegations of glaring discrepancies, Delhi University today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BA degree as circulated by BJP is "authentic" and it has all the relevant records relating to his graduation while terming as "minor error" mention of 1979 in his degree when he passed out a year earlier. The clarification by Delhi University's registrar Tarun Das came amid the raging controversy over Modi's educational qualifications with AAP continuing to question genuiness of the BA degree. "We have checked our records and it has been authenticated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's degree is authentic. He cleared the examination in 1978 and was awarded the degree in 1979," he said hours after an AAP delegation went to the university seeking details of the degree. Asked about certain discrepencies being alleged by AAP in his marksheets and degree certificate, he said, "the discrepancies in names in two marksheets exist in university records as well."
