New Delhi: The BJP on Wednesday demanded the arrest of Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar for allegedly furnishing fake provisional certificate of his law degree and holding a fake graduate degree as well.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Delhi unit chief Satish Upadhyay demanded Tomar’s arrest and an FIR against him following the Bar Council of Delhi’s complaint against the minister.
“We want Delhi Police to register a first information report (F.I.R) against the law minister and take appropriate actions according to the law. Tomar should be arrested now,” he said.
“Bar Council of Delhi’s cognizance of Jitender Singh Tomar says that the degrees are fake. We want to question if more such degrees exist?” Upadhyay told reporters in a press conference here.
The BJP leader also questioned the reason behind Delhi Police not taking any appropriate action so far. “Why police are not taking action even after the complaint and the response of the universities that documents submitted by Tomar for his enrolment as an advocate are forged?” he asked. “Police should not work under anybody’s pressure,” he said. “The fake government of Delhi and its fake ministers need to be exposed,” Upadhyay said.
