A court in Ahmedabd on June 7 directed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh to appear before it on July 13 in connection with a criminal defamation case over their “sarcastic” and “derogatory” statements with regard to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s degree.

The two Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders were earlier summoned by a metropolitan court to appear before it on June 7. The case against the two was filed by the Gujarat University (GU).

In the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jayesh Chovatiya on June 7, Mr. Kejriwal and Mr. Singh were represented by their lawyers who filed an application to exempt their clients from appearance and also sought documents related to the complaint.
