Kauravas claims: Govt has no role in deciding ISC speakers, says principal scientific advisor

The principal scientific advisor to the government, K VijayRaghvan, has termed as "scientifically untenable" the Andhra University vice chancellor G Nageshwar Rao's claims, made at the Indian Science Congress, that the Kauravas were test tube babies.

He also said the government has no role in deciding the speakers or the agenda of the event.

The Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA) does not have a filter and the government "rightly has no role in the matter", he said. "Once a speaker is chosen, there is no censorship on what the person actually speaks."
