The affidavits filed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey have sparked a complaint with the Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, Chief Election Commissioner and Central Vigilance Commissioner, and Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra. Moitra said that Dubey should be taken to task as swiftly considering the pace of Rahul Gandhi's disqualification.
In the complaint, she said there should be an immediate investigation against Dubey. Upon scrutiny, she said that falsification of the data is not an act of omission but is an act of commission that has been repeated, and that she wants to take action against the returning officers who accepted these affidavits by the MP.
Mahua Moitra said lying on an affidavit is a criminal offense and faking documents is a criminal offence. We're waiting to see how quickly LokSabhaSect acts on this issue, given its hot-footed actions on Friday. Or will it be different strokes for different people? She said that ECISVEEP was referenced to Rahul Gandhi's disqualification as MP. Gandhi was convicted and sentenced to a jail term of 2 years for his comment, How come all thieves have Modi as their common surname? Lok Sabha election rally took place in Kolar, Karnataka. He was immediately disqualified as an MP.
The TMC MP said in the complaint that Nishikant Dubey's educational records had serious discrepancies. According to his affidavits, Dubey was 37, 42 and 47 years of age in 2009, 2014 and 2019 making 1972 his year of birth. In his affidavits, Dubey stated that he matriculated in 1982, meaning at the age of 10. She said he had completed his graduation in 1989 at the age of 17 years. She urged an investigation into his claims.
She pointed out that Dubey claimed to have completed his MBA from Delhi University in 1993, but the university confirmed that no such student graduated in 1993. Moitra said Dubey would have been 21 years of age by the time he completed his part-time MBA.
According to Dubey's affidavits he did another MBA from Pratap University from 2013 -- 15 while he was an MP. Moitra asked them to check their attendance to make sure Dubey met all the attendance requirements to be a regular student.
She said that Dubey had completed his PhD from Pratap University between 2015 and 2018, while serving as an MP, while she urged them to check the genuineness.
What is interesting is that Mr Dubey has his date of birth as 28th January 1969. If that is so, then he has chosen to lie about his age in all his affidavits, said Mahua Moitra in the complaint.
She said that Dubey's educational record has significant discrepancies and urged immediate action against all involved.
