Since DU is an autonomous institution I have put forth my personal appeal to the VC to reinstate the officials.

Five of the non-teaching staff of the school of open learning have been suspended for accessing the confidential file and then leaking documents related to the educational qualifications of union Human Resources Development (HRD) Minister Smriti Irani.
In public life one should be open to scrutiny and criticism. So am I.

As a candidate in 2004 elections from Chandni Chowk in Delhi, Irani had declared that she had a Bachelor of Arts degree. “B.A. 1996 Delhi University (School of Correspondence)”, she had written in the column which seeks details of university education and the year in which the course was completed.
In the same column of the affidavit filed in the 2014 elections from Amethi, Irani has said, “Bachelor of Commerce Part-1, School of Open Learning (Correspondence), University of Delhi-1994”. In 2012, the Supreme Court had ruled that false disclosures in an affidavit can be a ground for rejection of a candidate’s nomination.
