Union human resource development minister Smriti Irani on Saturday appealed to the University of Delhi to reinstate the five officials suspended for allegedly leaking documents related to her educational qualifications.
Delhi University (DU), however, said no official was suspended in connection with the purported leaking of documents about Irani's education.
Terming reports on suspension of five non-teaching staff "incorrect", a statement by DU vice-chancellor Dinesh Singh said "the University has learnt that no suspension order has been issued to any employee of the School of Open Learning."
Irani is at the centre of an ugly controversy over her educational qualifications and a mismatch in the information provided by her in two election affidavits. When contesting the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, she mentioned her qualifications as Bachelor of Arts (BA) which she passed in 1996 from DU's School of Correspondence.
However, in her affidavit for this year's Lok Sabha election, the actor-turned-politician mentioned her educational qualification as "Bachelor of Commerce Part I, School of Open Learning (Correspondence), University of Delhi - 1994."
The Congress voiced strong protests against an "undergraduate" being appointed the HRD minister and the BJP countered it with questions about Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's academic background.
