Lawyer and researcher Alok Prasanna Kumar, one of the three experts named by the Supreme Court in the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) textbook’s “corruption in judiciary” chapter row, said he is “surprised” that NCERT director Dinesh Saklani has “unjustifiably singled out” three experts for the controversy.

Mr. Kumar, professor Michel Danino and Suparna Diwakar have been held “responsible for drafting the said chapter without mentioning the other persons involved or the process followed.”
