An Appeal to Every Citizen of India

 An Appeal to Every Citizen of India

Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2026/08/blog-post_11.html

If you believe that every public servant, regardless of the office they hold, should be held to the same standard of accountability under the law, I invite you to read the attached letter carefully.

This letter does not ask the Court to reach a predetermined conclusion. It simply requests an independent verification of the educational qualifications declared by the Hon'ble Prime Minister in his election affidavits, so that the truth may be established in accordance with law.

Election affidavits are official documents filed under oath. The credibility of our democratic process depends upon the accuracy of the declarations made in those documents. If questions regarding such declarations remain unresolved for years, it is reasonable for citizens to seek an impartial determination through the judicial process.

If, after reading this letter, you believe the matter merits independent judicial consideration, I respectfully request that you print a copy, sign it with your name and address, and send it to the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India. Each person should send only a letter that genuinely reflects their own views and conscience.

This is not an appeal in support of any political party or against any individual. It is an appeal in support of transparency, equal application of the law, and public confidence in our constitutional institutions.

In a democracy, citizens have both the right and the responsibility to seek accountability through lawful and constitutional means peacefully. If enough citizens ask for the truth to be established, our institutions will have the opportunity to strengthen public confidence by addressing the matter in accordance with the Constitution and the law.

This version frames the appeal around constitutional accountability and invites readers to act based on their own judgment, rather than urging them toward a predetermined conclusion.

The Hon'ble Chief Justice of India
Supreme Court of India

Subject: Representation Seeking Verification of the Educational Qualifications Declared by Shri Narendra Modi in His Election Affidavits

Your Lordship,

I respectfully submit this representation for your kind consideration.

Questions concerning declarations made in statutory election affidavits ultimately concern the integrity of the electoral process and public confidence in constitutional governance. When such questions remain unresolved for a prolonged period, they inevitably give rise to continuing public debate. In such circumstances, only an independent determination made in accordance with law can bring finality and strengthen public confidence in democratic institutions.

Your Lordship has recently expressed concern regarding the increasing problem of fake educational certificates and the harm they can cause to public institutions. Those observations highlight the importance of ensuring that declarations made under law are truthful and capable of verification.

According to the election affidavits filed by Shri Narendra Modi, including the affidavit submitted for the 2024 General Election, he has declared that he obtained a Bachelor's degree from the University of Delhi and a Master's degree from Gujarat University. These qualifications were disclosed under oath in statutory election affidavits and have been placed in the public domain by the Election Commission of India.

I understand that previous proceedings under the Right to Information Act seeking access to educational records were decided on the ground that such records constituted personal information. However, I respectfully submit that educational qualifications voluntarily declared in a statutory election affidavit stand on a different footing. Once disclosed under oath as part of a legal filing before the Election Commission, they become part of the public record and are capable of legitimate public scrutiny.

This representation is not concerned with whether a university degree is required to hold public office. Rather, it concerns the truthfulness and verifiability of declarations made under oath in election affidavits. The credibility of the electoral process depends upon the principle that every declaration required by law is accurate and that the same legal standard applies equally to every candidate, irrespective of the office he or she holds.

This question has remained a matter of public discussion for several years. A clear and independent verification conducted under the authority of law would either affirm the correctness of the declarations or resolve any continuing uncertainty. Either outcome would strengthen public confidence in the integrity of democratic institutions.

I therefore most respectfully request that this Hon'ble Court may consider, if it deems appropriate, taking suo motu cognizance of this matter or issuing such directions as it considers fit for the independent verification of the educational qualifications declared by Shri Narendra Modi in his election affidavits and for placing the outcome of such verification on the public record.

As the guardian of the Constitution and the rule of law, this Hon'ble Court is uniquely placed to determine this question in accordance with law. An impartial judicial determination would reinforce the constitutional principle that accountability under the law applies equally to every public office.

I remain grateful for your kind consideration of this representation.

Yours faithfully,
