Priyanka's Parliament Remarks Trigger Uproar

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi's remarks during the parliamentary debate on the Anti-Paper Leak Bill have triggered a political debate. Referring to IIT Madras Director Professor V. Kamakoti, who serves on the government's high-powered task force on education reforms, she described him as a "cow urine expert." The statement sparked sharp reactions and renewed discussion over the composition of the committee.

Professor Kamakoti had, during an event in Chennai in January 2025, referred to studies suggesting that cow urine possesses anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. He also cited five peer-reviewed scientific studies while discussing the subject. Following Priyanka Gandhi's remarks in Parliament, his earlier statements have once again come into public focus, leading to widespread discussion in political and academic circles.
