215 Academics Slam Priyanka Gandhi's 'Cow Urine' Remark On IIT Professor

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's remarks on IIT Madras Director V Kamakoti, who is a member of the new task-force on exam reforms, has triggered an open letter from over 200 vice chancellors, former vice chancellors and academics, condemning her for undermining the academic credentials of a distinguished scientist."... We write to express our disappointment over your reported remark describing IIT Madras Director Professor V. Kamakoti as a 'gaumutra expert'. Whether intended as sarcasm or political rhetoric, such a characterization raises concerns that go far beyond one individual," the open letter said."To dismiss a scholar through a label rather than engage with the substance of his views risks undermining the very scientific temper that our Constitution calls upon every citizen to develop.
