In a press release, Narendra Nayak, President of the association said that ISRO chairman was unfit to hold that position as he has insulted the constitution of India. “He should be immediately sacked,” he urged.
“He has perhaps forgotten that ours is secular republic and that worship of a deity belonging to one particular religion particularly in matters of state is negating this very basic tenet of our constitution. He has also forgotten article 51AH which states that it is the duty of every citizen to develop scientific temper and the spirit of enquiry and humanism,” he said.
He also wondered which principle of science applicable to the act of placing a replica of satellite at the feet of a statue at a temple.
“Again, if we quote his words-We have to understand a lot from the solar system etc. If this is the case we have to also go a long way to understand how a person like him in a responsible position in a government body be foolish enough to believe that prayers to particular god can ensure the proper launch of a satellite,” he said.
He also demanded Radhakrishnan should be immediately sacked for having done this affront to the constitution of country. “It's a crime against the constitution,” he said.
