NEW DELHI: An information officer who ordered the Delhi University to release details of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s college degree has been shunted from his education ministry charge, reports said on Thursday.
Information Commissioner M. S. Acharyulu had ordered earlier this week that the university release the alleged 1978 BA degree records. Now Chief Information Commissioner R. K. Mathur has taken away the charge of Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) from him.
According to an order issued on Tuesday evening, all complaints and appeals related to the HRD ministry will now be looked into by another Information Commissioner Manjula Parashar, Indian Express said on Thursday.
It said the latest order came just days after another order on Dec 29 on allocation of work in which Acharyulu had retained the HRD ministry.
