Scientific temper - whose is it anyway ?

Last day, The hindu carried an article titled "Tampering with Scientific temper" written by one Peter Ronald deSouza.  He writes on JawaharLal Nehru's scientific temper, and later he writes about  Mangalyaan. The relevant part of the article is rproduced below.

deSouza's problem is that Chairman, ISRO had been to Tirupathi on the previous day of launch of Mangalyaan !

Later, Dr. Radhakrishnan, in an interview  said  that he don’t want to leave it to chances (in a technical context).   This author  quotes him out of context and says that “chance is resolved by Tirupathi ? “.

Dr. Radhakrishnan’s visit to Tirupathi is his personal need and preference. It’s not ISRO’s. Why do you Mr. deSouza go to Church on Sunday mornings ?  And call Jesus before writing such  stock ? Is it not purely your personal beliefs?

Please leave  Dr. Radhakrishnan off, and don’t attempt to relate his (ISRO’s ) scientific temper with his temple visit.  Talking on ‘scientific temper ‘ should have common sense . This deSouza lacks such senses.
