Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor of Manoj Sinha on Friday invoked Mahatma Gandhi in his speech, however went on to say that Gandhi didn’t have a single college diploma.
“There is a Misconception that Gandhi ji had a Law Degree. Did you know he didn’t have a single University Degree? His only qualification was a High School Diploma,” Manoj Sinha claimed.

According to official records, although Mahatma Gandhi initially dropped out of Samaldas Arts College in Gujarat, he joined the University College London (UCL) and completed his Law degree successfully after 3 years.
Manoj Sinha also spoke about Gandhi’s philosophy of truth and said, “Gandhi did a lot for the nation. But everything that was achieved, the focal point of it was Truth. If you look at all the aspects of his life, there was nothing besides Truth in his life. Whatever the challenges, Mahatma Gandhi never abandoned truth & identified his inner voice. As a result, he became Father of the Nation.”
Manoj Sinha’s feedback about Gandhi’s training comes a day after Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday mentioned, “I am worried that the prime minister of the country is not educated. Anyone can get him to do anything. My question is whether there is no need of an educated prime minister in the 21st century? Can a less educated PM help in building 21st century?”. Kejriwal was addressing a public assembly at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
Earlier this week, Kejriwal took a dig on the Centre over the objection raised on allocation for commercial, saying “uneducated” people were posted from top to bottom.
“They said advertisement allocation was higher than that for infrastructure. Uneducated people are sitting from top to bottom. Which is more – Rs 20,000 crore for infrastructure or Rs 500 crore for advertisement?” mentioned the chief minister within the Assembly on Tuesday.
