Tushar Gandhi rubbishes Lieutenant Governor's claim about Mahatma Gandhi's education

Tushar Gandhi refuted the Lieutenant Governor's claim and stated that Mahatma Gandhi passed two matriculation exams and acquired a law degree from Inner Temple affiliated with London University. He also obtained two diplomas in Latin and French which were issued to educate the Deputy Governor of Jammu and Kashmir.

New Delhi: The allegation made by Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, that Mahatma Gandhi did not have a single university degree has been slammed by Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of the Father of the Nation.

“M. K. Gandhi passed 2 Matrics 1 from Alfred High School Rajkot, 2nd its equivalent in London, British Matriculation. He acquired, by studying & passing exams a Law Degree from Inner Temple, a law College affiliated with London University & simultaneously got two diplomas one in Latin and the other in French. Issued to educate the Deputy Governor of J&K,” Tushar Gandhi tweeted.

Sinha had spoken about Gandhi ji’s educational qualifications while delivering a keynote address for Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Memorial Lecture at ITM Gwalior on Thursday.

“Did you know that he did not have a single university degree or qualification. There are many of us who think that Mahatma Gandhi had a law degree. No, he did not. His only qualification was a high school diploma. He qualified to practice law. He did not have a law degree,” Sinha had said.

Slamming Sinha’s remarks, Tushar Gandhi tweeted, “I have dispatched a copy of Bapu’s Autobiography to Rajbhavan Jammu with the hope that if the Deputy Governor can read he will educate himself.” “I agree, Bapu did not hold a degree in Entire Law!” Tushar Gandhi tweeted.
