Scientist protests


NEW DELHI, MAY 11. A scientist nursing a grudge against the National Research Development Corporation (NRDC) caused a commotion when he smeared the face of its Chairman, Mr. N.K. Sharma, with pastry in the presence of the Vice-President, Mr. Krishan Kant, and the Union Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi, here today. Mr. Sanjeev Jaidka, who complained that the NRDC had stalled commercialisation of his research product, sprung a surprise in the convention hall where Mr. Kant and Dr. Joshi launched an electric car, Reva. Mr. Jaidka was later arrested.
