Isro chief S Somanath’s remarks on ex-boss Sivan spark row

ISRO chairman S Somanath has postponed the release of his memoir, titled “Lions that drank the moonlight,” after excerpts caused controversy. The book allegedly included references to former ISRO chief K Sivan attempting to obstruct Somanath’s appointment. Somanath denied writing about anyone trying to thwart his chances and clarified that the purpose of the book was not to create controversy. He plans to decide later whether or not to release it.
