Jun 9,

Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar has been arrested today in the alleged fake degree case. Police arrested the Aam Aadmi Party leader from his house this morning and took him to police station for further questioning. Sources said an FIR was registered against Mr. Tomar last night. He has been charged under various IPC sections including 420 i.e. cheating. Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi refused to respond to queries on the arrest saying he was in the meeting and will speak after getting details of his arrest. A police team had gone to Bihar on the direction of court to investigate charges that he had used fake degrees. The arrest comes amid an escalating turf war between the AAP government and Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.


AAP leader Sanjay Singh accused the Centre of using pressure tactics against the Delhi government. Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has charged the Central government of playing politics of vendetta against the AAP government. Briefing reporters in New Delhi this afternoon, Mr Sisodia said, emergency like situation is being created in the city through Lieutenant Governor at a time when AAP government is taking steps against corruption. He said, Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar was treated like a criminal while he was being arrested by the police. Mr Sisodia said, people have voted the AAP government to power to fight against corruption and those who will try to come in its way, will not be spared. Mr Sisodia said, appointment of Joint Commissioner as head of Anti Corruption Branch is illegal as there is no such post.

Congress leader and former Union Law minister M Veerappa Moily said it was very unfortunate that a law minister had forged degree. Mr Moily said law will take it own course. Congress today demanded removal of Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar from government in connection with fake law degree case. Talking to reporters in New Delhi, party spokesperson Ajay Maken said, the arrest of Mr Tomar has exposed Aam Aadmi Party's so called claims of transparency. He said, it is unfortunate that degree of Law Minister’s of Delhi government has been been found to be fake.


BJP has demanded resignation of Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar in the fake degree case. Talking to AIR, Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay said, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should have taken cognizance of the case and should have removed him. He said, if the Chief Minister had take the action, the arrest of Mr Tomar as Minister could have been avoided. BJP today said the law will take its own course in the fake degree case of Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar. Talking to AIR, party spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said, AAP's expectation of special treatment from police is deplorable. He said, it is a pure case of fake degree and there is no conspiracy.

Meanwhile, scores of Aam Aadmi Party workers are demonstrating in South Delhi against the arrest of the Law Minister.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
