Nobel laureate Venkatraman Ramakrishnan has refused to attend the Indian Science Congress. The India-born scientist finds the event unworthy of attending.

According to a report by a leading English daily, Ramakrishnan attended the congress in the previous year and found that it discussed very little of science.

"It was a circus. I find that it's an organisation where very little science is discussed. I will never attend a science congress again in my life," he was quoted as saying.

Ramakrishnan was awarded Nobel Prize in 2009. He is a structural biologist at Cambridge University.

The annual Science Congress is going on in Mysuru. Ramakrishnan, earlier had objected to politics and religion to be mixed with science.
