&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In a damning action, government has barred former ISRO chief G Madhavan Nair and three eminent space scientists from any re-employment for their alleged role in the controversial allocation of scarce S-band space segment to private firm Devas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The action, probably the first of its kind against a former Secretary-level technocrat and other retired officials, follows a high-level inquiry into the controversial deal under which Antrix was to lease out bulk transponders on two satellites to Devas for launch of digital multimedia services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
68-year-old Nair, the architect of India&#039;s maiden moon mission Chandrayaan-I, hit back at the government accusing it of &amp;quot;witch-hunting&amp;quot; and threatened to move court seeking relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also attacked the incumbent ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan saying that he had misled the government on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order by the Department of Space mandates that Nair and three other top officials &amp;quot;shall be excluded from re-employment, committee roles or any other important role under the government.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These four former officers shall be divested of any current assignment/consultancy with the government with immediate effect,&amp;quot; said the order dated January 13.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nair was the Chairman of three entities -- ISRO, Space Commission and Antrix Corporation, and Secretary, Department of Space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other three officials against whom action has been taken are A Bhaskaranarayana, former scientific secretary at ISRO, K R Sridharamurthi, former managing director of Antrix, ISRO&#039;s commercial arm, and K N Shankara, former director of the ISRO Satellite Centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy said the decision to crack the whip was taken by the Prime Minister&#039;s Office which considered the report of a high-level panel on the deal and recommendations on it by a team led by former CVC Pratyush Sinha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nair, a Padma Vibhushan awardee, said the government action was &amp;quot;in violation of principles of natural justice and tarnishing the image of reputed people like him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With this order, the continuance of Nair as Chairman, Board of Governors of IIT-Patna, has come under a cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhaskaranarayana said he had done no wrong and felt offended by the government action. He said the Antrix-Devas deal was done with all due diligence and care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sridharamurthi also said that he had done nothing wrong and probably &amp;quot;we will have to go through the process of defending ourselves. We will do that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We are always ready to defend our actions. Lot of things are not clearly seen,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after reports of a scam in the deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh constituted a high-level committee under former cabinet secretary B K Chaturvedi to go into the allegations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cabinet Committee on Security had cancelled the deal in February last year after these reports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An angry Nair blamed his successor Radhakrishnan for the action, accusing him of being behind the move and pursuing a &amp;quot;personal agenda&amp;quot; by misleading the Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dismissing his charge, Narayanasamy said Radhakrishnan had nothing to do with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Why is he blaming Radhakrishnan? The action was taken on the basis of the findings of two Committees,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked to comment on the matter, former President A P J Abdul Kalam said there was no infighting. At the same time, he said that definitely, the establishment was bigger than any individual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the deal, Antrix was to provide 70 MHz of the scarce S-Band space segment to Devas for its digital multimedia services. This was to be done by leasing 90 per cent of the transponders in satellites GSAT-6 and GSAT-6A that are proposed to be launched by ISRO. Devas, in turn, was to pay Antrix a total of USD 300 million over 12 years.

&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In a damning action, government has barred former ISRO chief G Madhavan Nair and three eminent space scientists from any re-employment for their alleged role in the controversial allocation of scarce S-band space segment to private firm Devas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The action, probably the first of its kind against a former Secretary-level technocrat and other retired officials, follows a high-level inquiry into the controversial deal under which Antrix was to lease out bulk transponders on two satellites to Devas for launch of digital multimedia services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
68-year-old Nair, the architect of India&#039;s maiden moon mission Chandrayaan-I, hit back at the government accusing it of &amp;quot;witch-hunting&amp;quot; and threatened to move court seeking relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also attacked the incumbent ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan saying that he had misled the government on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order by the Department of Space mandates that Nair and three other top officials &amp;quot;shall be excluded from re-employment, committee roles or any other important role under the government.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These four former officers shall be divested of any current assignment/consultancy with the government with immediate effect,&amp;quot; said the order dated January 13.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nair was the Chairman of three entities -- ISRO, Space Commission and Antrix Corporation, and Secretary, Department of Space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other three officials against whom action has been taken are A Bhaskaranarayana, former scientific secretary at ISRO, K R Sridharamurthi, former managing director of Antrix, ISRO&#039;s commercial arm, and K N Shankara, former director of the ISRO Satellite Centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy said the decision to crack the whip was taken by the Prime Minister&#039;s Office which considered the report of a high-level panel on the deal and recommendations on it by a team led by former CVC Pratyush Sinha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nair, a Padma Vibhushan awardee, said the government action was &amp;quot;in violation of principles of natural justice and tarnishing the image of reputed people like him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With this order, the continuance of Nair as Chairman, Board of Governors of IIT-Patna, has come under a cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhaskaranarayana said he had done no wrong and felt offended by the government action. He said the Antrix-Devas deal was done with all due diligence and care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sridharamurthi also said that he had done nothing wrong and probably &amp;quot;we will have to go through the process of defending ourselves. We will do that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We are always ready to defend our actions. Lot of things are not clearly seen,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after reports of a scam in the deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh constituted a high-level committee under former cabinet secretary B K Chaturvedi to go into the allegations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cabinet Committee on Security had cancelled the deal in February last year after these reports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An angry Nair blamed his successor Radhakrishnan for the action, accusing him of being behind the move and pursuing a &amp;quot;personal agenda&amp;quot; by misleading the Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dismissing his charge, Narayanasamy said Radhakrishnan had nothing to do with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Why is he blaming Radhakrishnan? The action was taken on the basis of the findings of two Committees,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked to comment on the matter, former President A P J Abdul Kalam said there was no infighting. At the same time, he said that definitely, the establishment was bigger than any individual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the deal, Antrix was to provide 70 MHz of the scarce S-Band space segment to Devas for its digital multimedia services. This was to be done by leasing 90 per cent of the transponders in satellites GSAT-6 and GSAT-6A that are proposed to be launched by ISRO. Devas, in turn, was to pay Antrix a total of USD 300 million over 12 years.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In a damning action, government has barred former ISRO chief G Madhavan Nair and three eminent space scientists from any re-employment for their alleged role in the controversial allocation of scarce S-band space segment to private firm Devas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The action, probably the first of its kind against a former Secretary-level technocrat and other retired officials, follows a high-level inquiry into the controversial deal under which Antrix was to lease out bulk transponders on two satellites to Devas for launch of digital multimedia services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
68-year-old Nair, the architect of India&#039;s maiden moon mission Chandrayaan-I, hit back at the government accusing it of &amp;quot;witch-hunting&amp;quot; and threatened to move court seeking relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also attacked the incumbent ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan saying that he had misled the government on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order by the Department of Space mandates that Nair and three other top officials &amp;quot;shall be excluded from re-employment, committee roles or any other important role under the government.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These four former officers shall be divested of any current assignment/consultancy with the government with immediate effect,&amp;quot; said the order dated January 13.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nair was the Chairman of three entities -- ISRO, Space Commission and Antrix Corporation, and Secretary, Department of Space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other three officials against whom action has been taken are A Bhaskaranarayana, former scientific secretary at ISRO, K R Sridharamurthi, former managing director of Antrix, ISRO&#039;s commercial arm, and K N Shankara, former director of the ISRO Satellite Centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy said the decision to crack the whip was taken by the Prime Minister&#039;s Office which considered the report of a high-level panel on the deal and recommendations on it by a team led by former CVC Pratyush Sinha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nair, a Padma Vibhushan awardee, said the government action was &amp;quot;in violation of principles of natural justice and tarnishing the image of reputed people like him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With this order, the continuance of Nair as Chairman, Board of Governors of IIT-Patna, has come under a cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhaskaranarayana said he had done no wrong and felt offended by the government action. He said the Antrix-Devas deal was done with all due diligence and care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sridharamurthi also said that he had done nothing wrong and probably &amp;quot;we will have to go through the process of defending ourselves. We will do that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We are always ready to defend our actions. Lot of things are not clearly seen,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after reports of a scam in the deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh constituted a high-level committee under former cabinet secretary B K Chaturvedi to go into the allegations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cabinet Committee on Security had cancelled the deal in February last year after these reports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An angry Nair blamed his successor Radhakrishnan for the action, accusing him of being behind the move and pursuing a &amp;quot;personal agenda&amp;quot; by misleading the Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dismissing his charge, Narayanasamy said Radhakrishnan had nothing to do with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Why is he blaming Radhakrishnan? The action was taken on the basis of the findings of two Committees,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked to comment on the matter, former President A P J Abdul Kalam said there was no infighting. At the same time, he said that definitely, the establishment was bigger than any individual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the deal, Antrix was to provide 70 MHz of the scarce S-Band space segment to Devas for its digital multimedia services. This was to be done by leasing 90 per cent of the transponders in satellites GSAT-6 and GSAT-6A that are proposed to be launched by ISRO. Devas, in turn, was to pay Antrix a total of USD 300 million over 12 years.

&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In a damning action, government has barred former ISRO chief G Madhavan Nair and three eminent space scientists from any re-employment for their alleged role in the controversial allocation of scarce S-band space segment to private firm Devas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The action, probably the first of its kind against a former Secretary-level technocrat and other retired officials, follows a high-level inquiry into the controversial deal under which Antrix was to lease out bulk transponders on two satellites to Devas for launch of digital multimedia services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
68-year-old Nair, the architect of India&#039;s maiden moon mission Chandrayaan-I, hit back at the government accusing it of &amp;quot;witch-hunting&amp;quot; and threatened to move court seeking relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also attacked the incumbent ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan saying that he had misled the government on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order by the Department of Space mandates that Nair and three other top officials &amp;quot;shall be excluded from re-employment, committee roles or any other important role under the government.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These four former officers shall be divested of any current assignment/consultancy with the government with immediate effect,&amp;quot; said the order dated January 13.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nair was the Chairman of three entities -- ISRO, Space Commission and Antrix Corporation, and Secretary, Department of Space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other three officials against whom action has been taken are A Bhaskaranarayana, former scientific secretary at ISRO, K R Sridharamurthi, former managing director of Antrix, ISRO&#039;s commercial arm, and K N Shankara, former director of the ISRO Satellite Centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy said the decision to crack the whip was taken by the Prime Minister&#039;s Office which considered the report of a high-level panel on the deal and recommendations on it by a team led by former CVC Pratyush Sinha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nair, a Padma Vibhushan awardee, said the government action was &amp;quot;in violation of principles of natural justice and tarnishing the image of reputed people like him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With this order, the continuance of Nair as Chairman, Board of Governors of IIT-Patna, has come under a cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhaskaranarayana said he had done no wrong and felt offended by the government action. He said the Antrix-Devas deal was done with all due diligence and care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sridharamurthi also said that he had done nothing wrong and probably &amp;quot;we will have to go through the process of defending ourselves. We will do that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We are always ready to defend our actions. Lot of things are not clearly seen,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after reports of a scam in the deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh constituted a high-level committee under former cabinet secretary B K Chaturvedi to go into the allegations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cabinet Committee on Security had cancelled the deal in February last year after these reports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An angry Nair blamed his successor Radhakrishnan for the action, accusing him of being behind the move and pursuing a &amp;quot;personal agenda&amp;quot; by misleading the Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dismissing his charge, Narayanasamy said Radhakrishnan had nothing to do with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Why is he blaming Radhakrishnan? The action was taken on the basis of the findings of two Committees,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked to comment on the matter, former President A P J Abdul Kalam said there was no infighting. At the same time, he said that definitely, the establishment was bigger than any individual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the deal, Antrix was to provide 70 MHz of the scarce S-Band space segment to Devas for its digital multimedia services. This was to be done by leasing 90 per cent of the transponders in satellites GSAT-6 and GSAT-6A that are proposed to be launched by ISRO. Devas, in turn, was to pay Antrix a total of USD 300 million over 12 years.

&lt;br /&gt;
Dismissing his charge, Narayanasamy said Radhakrishnan had nothing to do with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Why is he blaming Radhakrishnan? The action was taken on the basis of the findings of two Committees,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked to comment on the matter, former President A P J Abdul Kalam said there was no infighting. At the same time, he said that definitely, the establishment was bigger than any individual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the deal, Antrix was to provide 70 MHz of the scarce S-Band space segment to Devas for its digital multimedia services. This was to be done by leasing 90 per cent of the transponders in satellites GSAT-6 and GSAT-6A that are proposed to be launched by ISRO. Devas, in turn, was to pay Antrix a total of USD 300 million over 12 years.

<em>In a damning action, government has barred former ISRO chief G Madhavan Nair and three eminent space scientists from any re-employment for their alleged role in the controversial allocation of scarce S-band space segment to private firm Devas.<br />
</em><br />
The action, probably the first of its kind against a former Secretary-level technocrat and other retired officials, follows a high-level inquiry into the controversial deal under which Antrix was to lease out bulk transponders on two satellites to Devas for launch of digital multimedia services.<br />
<br />
68-year-old Nair, the architect of India's maiden moon mission Chandrayaan-I, hit back at the government accusing it of &quot;witch-hunting&quot; and threatened to move court seeking relief.<br />
<br />
He also attacked the incumbent ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan saying that he had misled the government on the issue.<br />
<br />
The order by the Department of Space mandates that Nair and three other top officials &quot;shall be excluded from re-employment, committee roles or any other important role under the government.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;These four former officers shall be divested of any current assignment/consultancy with the government with immediate effect,&quot; said the order dated January 13.<br />
<br />
Nair was the Chairman of three entities -- ISRO, Space Commission and Antrix Corporation, and Secretary, Department of Space.<br />
<br />
The other three officials against whom action has been taken are A Bhaskaranarayana, former scientific secretary at ISRO, K R Sridharamurthi, former managing director of Antrix, ISRO's commercial arm, and K N Shankara, former director of the ISRO Satellite Centre.<br />
<br />
Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy said the decision to crack the whip was taken by the Prime Minister's Office which considered the report of a high-level panel on the deal and recommendations on it by a team led by former CVC Pratyush Sinha.<br />
<br />
Nair, a Padma Vibhushan awardee, said the government action was &quot;in violation of principles of natural justice and tarnishing the image of reputed people like him.&quot;<br />
<br />
With this order, the continuance of Nair as Chairman, Board of Governors of IIT-Patna, has come under a cloud.<br />
<br />
Bhaskaranarayana said he had done no wrong and felt offended by the government action. He said the Antrix-Devas deal was done with all due diligence and care.<br />
<br />
Sridharamurthi also said that he had done nothing wrong and probably &quot;we will have to go through the process of defending ourselves. We will do that.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;We are always ready to defend our actions. Lot of things are not clearly seen,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
Soon after reports of a scam in the deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh constituted a high-level committee under former cabinet secretary B K Chaturvedi to go into the allegations.<br />
<br />
The Cabinet Committee on Security had cancelled the deal in February last year after these reports.<br />
<br />
An angry Nair blamed his successor Radhakrishnan for the action, accusing him of being behind the move and pursuing a &quot;personal agenda&quot; by misleading the Government.<br />
<br />
Dismissing his charge, Narayanasamy said Radhakrishnan had nothing to do with him.<br />
<br />
&quot;Why is he blaming Radhakrishnan? The action was taken on the basis of the findings of two Committees,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
Asked to comment on the matter, former President A P J Abdul Kalam said there was no infighting. At the same time, he said that definitely, the establishment was bigger than any individual.<br />
<br />
Under the deal, Antrix was to provide 70 MHz of the scarce S-Band space segment to Devas for its digital multimedia services. This was to be done by leasing 90 per cent of the transponders in satellites GSAT-6 and GSAT-6A that are proposed to be launched by ISRO. Devas, in turn, was to pay Antrix a total of USD 300 million over 12 years.

<em>In a damning action, government has barred former ISRO chief G Madhavan Nair and three eminent space scientists from any re-employment for their alleged role in the controversial allocation of scarce S-band space segment to private firm Devas.<br />
</em><br />
The action, probably the first of its kind against a former Secretary-level technocrat and other retired officials, follows a high-level inquiry into the controversial deal under which Antrix was to lease out bulk transponders on two satellites to Devas for launch of digital multimedia services.<br />
<br />
68-year-old Nair, the architect of India's maiden moon mission Chandrayaan-I, hit back at the government accusing it of &quot;witch-hunting&quot; and threatened to move court seeking relief.<br />
<br />
He also attacked the incumbent ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan saying that he had misled the government on the issue.<br />
<br />
The order by the Department of Space mandates that Nair and three other top officials &quot;shall be excluded from re-employment, committee roles or any other important role under the government.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;These four former officers shall be divested of any current assignment/consultancy with the government with immediate effect,&quot; said the order dated January 13.<br />
<br />
Nair was the Chairman of three entities -- ISRO, Space Commission and Antrix Corporation, and Secretary, Department of Space.<br />
<br />
The other three officials against whom action has been taken are A Bhaskaranarayana, former scientific secretary at ISRO, K R Sridharamurthi, former managing director of Antrix, ISRO's commercial arm, and K N Shankara, former director of the ISRO Satellite Centre.<br />
<br />
Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy said the decision to crack the whip was taken by the Prime Minister's Office which considered the report of a high-level panel on the deal and recommendations on it by a team led by former CVC Pratyush Sinha.<br />
<br />
Nair, a Padma Vibhushan awardee, said the government action was &quot;in violation of principles of natural justice and tarnishing the image of reputed people like him.&quot;<br />
<br />
With this order, the continuance of Nair as Chairman, Board of Governors of IIT-Patna, has come under a cloud.<br />
<br />
Bhaskaranarayana said he had done no wrong and felt offended by the government action. He said the Antrix-Devas deal was done with all due diligence and care.<br />
<br />
Sridharamurthi also said that he had done nothing wrong and probably &quot;we will have to go through the process of defending ourselves. We will do that.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;We are always ready to defend our actions. Lot of things are not clearly seen,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
Soon after reports of a scam in the deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh constituted a high-level committee under former cabinet secretary B K Chaturvedi to go into the allegations.<br />
<br />
The Cabinet Committee on Security had cancelled the deal in February last year after these reports.<br />
<br />
An angry Nair blamed his successor Radhakrishnan for the action, accusing him of being behind the move and pursuing a &quot;personal agenda&quot; by misleading the Government.<br />
<br />
Dismissing his charge, Narayanasamy said Radhakrishnan had nothing to do with him.<br />
<br />
&quot;Why is he blaming Radhakrishnan? The action was taken on the basis of the findings of two Committees,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
Asked to comment on the matter, former President A P J Abdul Kalam said there was no infighting. At the same time, he said that definitely, the establishment was bigger than any individual.<br />
<br />
Under the deal, Antrix was to provide 70 MHz of the scarce S-Band space segment to Devas for its digital multimedia services. This was to be done by leasing 90 per cent of the transponders in satellites GSAT-6 and GSAT-6A that are proposed to be launched by ISRO.

Govt bars Madhavan Nair, three others from re-employment

-DD News   In a damning action, government has barred former ISRO chief G Madhavan Nair and three eminent space scientists from any re-employment for their alleged role in the controversial allocation of scarce S-band space segment to private firm Devas.
