Harmanpreet Kaur Finally Opens Up on the Fake Degree Row

India women’s T20 Cricket team skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur has finally opened up on the fake degree row, days after Punjab Government withdrew DSP rank from her.

Meanwhile, Punjab CM, Amrinder Singh awarded her the post after her heroics in the 2017 World Cup. She is also an Arjuna Award winner for her contribution to the game.

Talking about the fake degree row, Kaur admitted it might be a fault on the administrations part. She also said she took her postgraduation admission on the basis of this graduation certificate.

“It can also be an administrative fault. When you did your graduation, did you go to the head office to verify your enrollment number? Nobody does that,” Kaur aid to TOI. “I did exactly the same thing. If I am playing, my focus is obviously on cricket. Apart from that, I just wanted to complete my graduation. On the basis of my graduation certificate, I took admission to post graduation course in a different university but could never take my exams because of overseas tournaments. Today, that very degree is being called fake,” she adds.

The swashbuckling batter also conceded she has full faith in her department. Harmanpreet Kaur also admitted she is waiting to hear from the department.

“I am waiting for a word from my department. I am talking to you because I am tired of reading about this in newspapers every day. Otherwise, I am relying on my department completely, and whatever decision it takes would be the last,” she added.

The Punjab Government has now offered Harmanpreet a rank of a constable. However, Kaur denied such news. She said she hasn’t received any such offer till now.

Meanwhile, the CM reportedly has directed to explore options to appoint Harmanpreet Kaur with an honorary DSP rank. The final decision is likely in a day or two.
