The ISRO row showed no signs of abating as former chief of the space agency, G Madhavan Nair on Tuesday hit back at his successor K Radhakrishnan dubbing as "another lie" the latter's claim that an inquiry was conducted into charges and lapses relating to the Antrix-Devas deal.
Battling the action against him and three other top scientists in the controversial Antrix-Devas deal, former Indian Space Research Organisation chief G Madhavan Nair on Monday demanded that the order barring them from government posts should not only be revoked but an apology should be tendered by those responsible for it. "They owe an apology not to me but to the whole country. Somebody has taken the law into their hands and they have to apologise," said Nair.
The government on Sunday said it was ready to hear the points of view of four scientists, including former Indian Space Research Organisation chief Madhavan Nair, who have been barred from occupying any government posts in connection with the controversial Antrix-Devas deal.
It was former President A P J Abdul Kalam's idea to paint the Indian flag on the Moon. Minutes after his dream was realized, a relieved Kalam is seen holding a globe with the Tricolour on it. ISRO chief Madhavan Nair is also seen.
