Kanimozhi condemned these statements as misleading and detrimental to scientific understanding, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between historical facts and mythology in educational settings. She expressed concern that such comments could hinder children's curiosity and understanding of science, particularly in light of India's advancements in space exploration through ISRO's missions.
