Lack of educational qualification has never been a moot point in Indian politics. So the brouhaha surrounding Ms Smriti Irani’s poll affidavits is misplaced. Fact remains though, that the alleged disparity has neither been denied nor admitted and an apology offered. And that cannot be brushed aside with the reply ‘judge me by my work’. The common man enjoys no such concessions. His application -even for admission into an educational institution – can be rejected outright if any of his claims in the said application is found to be erroneous any time . Does ‘honesty’ merit anything at all in public domain? Maybe, ‘to err is human..in human resources’ after all!
