<p>Laxmidhar Behera, the director of IIT Mandi, recently sparked a debate when he said that animal abuse is to blame for the landslides and cloudbursts that have occurred in Himachal Pradesh. He requested that they promise not to consume any meat.”What must we do to become excellent human beings? “I don’t eat meat,” he remarked.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-168008″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/theindiaprint.com-goa-cm-requests-installation-of-ev-chargers-at-fuel-stations-iit-mandi-1200-11zon-750×417.png” alt=”theindiaprint.com goa cm requests installation of ev chargers at fuel stations iit mandi 1200 11zon” width=”1471″ height=”818″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/theindiaprint.com-goa-cm-requests-installation-of-ev-chargers-at-fuel-stations-iit-mandi-1200-11zon-750×417.png 750w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/theindiaprint.com-goa-cm-requests-installation-of-ev-chargers-at-fuel-stations-iit-mandi-1200-11zon-1024×569.png 1024w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/theindiaprint.com-goa-cm-requests-installation-of-ev-chargers-at-fuel-stations-iit-mandi-1200-11zon-768×427.png 768w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/theindiaprint.com-goa-cm-requests-installation-of-ev-chargers-at-fuel-stations-iit-mandi-1200-11zon-150×83.png 150w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/theindiaprint.com-goa-cm-requests-installation-of-ev-chargers-at-fuel-stations-iit-mandi-1200-11zon.png 1200w” sizes=”(max-width: 1471px) 100vw, 1471px” title=”Jairam Ramesh wants the IIT Mandi director removed after he asked students not to consume meat 3″></p>
<p>Congressman Jairam Ramesh said on the microblogging site X that Behera has shown he is unqualified to serve as director. Ramesh said, “The longer he remains, the more harm he will do to the spirit of scientific temper.</p>
<p>The opposition leader continued by saying that the prime minister mentioned how our predecessors were aware of plastic surgery.Modi also said that although we have changed, the environment has not. Ramesh said, “Science and spirituality is one thing, but science and ludicrous theories propagated by people in positions of power is quite another.”</p>
<p>Behera warned the students through video conference that if animal slaughter continues, Himachal Pradesh would suffer a serious setback. creatures, innocent creatures, are being butchered there by you. It also has a symbiotic connection with environmental deterioration, which is occurring but is now invisible.</p>
<p>“It often experiences cloudbursts, landslides, and other natural disasters; all of these are results of animal abuse…People consume meat, said the IIT Mandi director.</p>
<p>The filmmaker received criticism from certain X users for his opinions. “The breakdown is total. Sandeep Manudhane, an entrepreneur and IIT Delhi alumnus, remarked on X, “These superstitious fools will destroy whatever little was built in 70 years.”</p>
<p>Having opinions like those of the director of IIT Mandi displayed here is a plus, not a flaw, according to biophysics professor Gautam Menon. It’s just sad. Behera’s inflammatory remarks have caused a commotion in the past as well. He made news last year when he claimed to have performed an exorcism to purge “evil spirits” from his friend’s residence and family using “holy mantras.”</p>
