Former Delhi chief minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal is facing criminal proceedings in a defamation case over his alleged remarks over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's educational qualification after the Supreme Court on Monday dismissed his plea to quash summons. Gujarat University Registrar Piyush Patel had filed the defamation case against the politicians over their alleged comments after the HC set aside an order of the chief information commissioner for providing information about Modi's degrees under the Right to Information Act. According to the complainant, the two politicians made "defamatory" statements at press conferences and on microblogging platform X, targeting the university over Modi's degrees. Their comments were defamatory and hurt the prestige of the institution, he alleged.
