Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday blamed certain sections for attempting to destroy the concept of pluralism and impose anti-science sentiments in society.
Such groups insult the intelligence of talented young scientists and the general public by claiming that the contents of religious texts and science are the same, the Chief Minister said, inaugurating the golden jubilee celebrations of the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE).
The people who are duty-bound by the Constitution to promote scientific temper in society are blindly supporting claims made in the name of religion. Such attitudes endanger democracy, Mr. Vijayan said.
