Astrology is science, not superstition: K'taka law minister
Karnataka Law Minister TB Jayachandra has said astrology was not included in Karnataka's anti-superstition bill as it is a science. Rationalists slammed his remark, alleging that the minister confused 'astronomy' with 'astrology'. The Karnataka Cabinet last month cleared the anti-superstition bill making "inhuman evil" superstitious practices punishable with two to five years of imprisonment.
