New Delhi, April 30 (IANS): Congress supporters on Thursday staged a protest against Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar, whose law degree is alleged to be fake, outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence here.
The protesters held up placards and shouted slogans against Tomar and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. Police resorted to water cannon to control the mob.
They demanded immediate removal of the minister. They also targeted Kejriwal for not taking action against Tomar.
"Why Kejriwal is not speaking on the issue? He has not taken any action against Tomar, who is having a fake law degree. We want Tomar to be sacked immediately," protesters said.
The Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University in Bihar, from where Tomar claimed to have obtained his law degree, told the Delhi High Court on Monday that his provisional certificate was "not genuine" and the document "does not exist in the university's record".
