PM awarded honorary doctorate

MOSCOW, NOV. 6. The Prime Minister, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee, today lashed out at the ``controls'' placed by some developed nations on the free flow of scientific and technological knowledge saying such barriers went against the spirit of science and goals of global development.

In his speech at the Lomonosov Moscow State University where he was awarded an honorary doctorate, Mr. Vajpayee expressed serious concern over the ``present divide'' between the developed and developing countries with regard to advances in science and technology.

Among those honoured by the university in the past was the late Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
