New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress have upped the ante against the Arvind Kejriwal government after Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar's arrest for allegedly procuring fake law degree. The opposition parties are demanding his resignation.
Accused of having a fake law degree, Tomar was arrested on charges of cheating, forgery and getting jobs on fake degree. He was taken to Vasant Vihar police station and will appear before Saket Court at 3 PM.
Here is who said what:
Rajnath Singh, Home Minister: There is no question of interference by the Home Ministry. The law will take its course in this matter.
Ajay Maken, Congress: This is the first time in history of Delhi that a minister has been arrested. Kejriwal has double standards, why is he waiting for court order this case. This matter was raised by Prashant Bhushan and then why didn't he act. When the matter is heard then public prosecutor would be appointed by the Delhi government. Jitender Singh Tomar should resign and so should Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
RPN Singh, Congress: With daily dose of Delhi drama, Centre and state government showing they have no clue how to govern India's capital city.
Veerappa Moily, Congress: The law and order machinery in Delhi has clearly broken down. How can AAP government now face people if their Law Minister has been arrested?
Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress: This shows what kind of government is being run by Kejriwal. The Chief Minister promised a corruption free state and his own minister has been arrested for forgery.
Satish Upadhyay, BJP: Law is supreme. Let law do its work. The Delhi government should cooperate. Delhi Police must have a detailed investigation with evidence when they have arrested the state Law Minister.
Shazia Ilmi, BJP: Jitender Tomar violated the Representation of People's Act. The allegations against the Modi government should not be taken seriously.
