Former Aam Aadmi Party leader Yogendra Yadav today reacted to the sudden arrest of Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar, saying that if his law degrees are indeed genuine, the AAP should make them public instead of hiding behind court procedures.


Yadav took to Twitter to share his views on the matter.


Tomar was arrested today by the Delhi Police in connection with an alleged fake degree case.


The BJP has in the past alleged that Tomar's undergraduate certificates from the Bhagalpur University in Bihar were "fake and forged'.


Tomar, however, dismissed the charges against him as "baseless' and said that it is a political conspiracy by the BJP.


Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh, who broke the news of the arrest, pointed fingers at the BJP-led Centre, under whose jurisdiction the Delhi police falls, and said that the police did not give prior notice or intimation before the arrest.


However, Yadav, who was expelled from the AAP for 'anti-party activities', wrote on Twitter that the real issue is not the technicalities behind Tomar's arrest, but simply the 'govt's and party's refusal to come clean.'


He added that he, along with Prashant Bhushan, had raised this issue four months ago.
