The Delhi high court on August 25 has set aside a 2016 order of the Central Information Commission (CIC) directing the Delhi University to disclose information regarding the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s bachelor degree, observing that it was “personal information”, and ruling out any "implicit public interest" in it. Well, in that case then there is no need for anybody to disclose their academic qualifications, because it is "personal information". To become a teacher, an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer and many other occupations require a basic qualification pertaining to their field. It should be the same with our lawmakers and politicians. They must be educated only then can they serve to their fullest potential. That's when the politicians will be impartial and non-biased. Just look at the US, UK, France, and many other countries. Are uneducated people ruling those countries? No. Unfortunately, uneducated leaders are seen commonly getting elected here today and even hiding their educational qualification certificates under some pretext or the other to hold on to their chairs and rule this country. Now, isn't that most shameful for the people of this country?
