"The chief minister is more guilty than the person being accused, CM was shielding him, on moral grounds CM should resign...It's a moral question on part of Arvind Kejriwal, he knew his law minister was

possessing a fake degree, but no action was taken," Chacko told ANI.Meanwhile, Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia will be meeting Delhi's Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung today.

Tomar, however, has stated that his degree is not fake and blamed his arrest on a conspiracy by the Centre.
