NEW DELHI: Over 200 academicians have written an open letter objecting to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's 'gaumutra' expert jibe at IIT Madras director V Kamakoti and said dismissing a scholar through a label risks undermining the scientific temper promoted by the Constitution.

Kamakoti, they noted, has been a guiding force behind India's first industry-grade microprocessor, and he is one of the top tech brains in the country.
