Nair given chance to explain: Govt

The government on Thursday dismissed former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief G Madhavan Nair's claims that he was not given a chance to give his views on the action taken against him in connection with controversial Antrix-Devas deal. "The high-level team had sent detailed letters to all the above four officials last July, seeking clarifications for their involvement in various lapses and issues, including those pointed out by high-powered review committee," minister of state in PMO V Narayanasamy said.
