The yoga guru defended his close aide Balkrishna saying the veracity of his degrees was proved by the statement of the headmaster of the institute where he pursued his studies.
With the CBI seeking revocation of his close aide Balkrishna's passport, yoga guru Ramdev today targeted the prime minister and the home minister demanding action against them following A Raja's statement in court that 2G allocation was done with their consent.
"Former Telecom Minister A Raja has said 2G spectrum was allocated with the consent of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the then Finance Minister P Chidambaram. As per his statement action should be taken against the prime minister and Chidambaram," Ramdev told reporters in Delhi.
Reacting to the CBI seeking revocation of Balkrishna's passport alleging that it had been procured on the basis of fake degrees, the yoga guru defended his close aide saying the veracity of his degrees was proved by the statement of the headmaster of the institute where he pursued his studies.
"Headmaster of Radhakrishan Sanskrit University, where Balkrishna pursued his eduction, Acharya Naresh Chand Dwivedi has already said that his degrees are real and he studied at the institute," Ramdev said.
Alleging that there is a conspiracy by politicians to malign his image, he said, "Responsibility for giving a degree lies with the university... How Balkrishna is responsible if any fault is found in his degree? He has not done anything unconstitutional or illegal."
Had the degrees been fake, Balkrishna would not have used these to obtain a passport, as there are many uneducated people who get their passport made without showing any degrees in support their education, he said.
"I have studied under the gurukul system and I got my passport prepared without showing any such degree. During his childhood and again while pursuing his education Balkrishna had made it clear that he has no interest in jobs and he wanted to serve the country," Ramdev added.
