International Institute for Population Sciences Director KS James had reportedly been asked to quit as the government had reservations about some data sets.

The Wire reported that some of the findings of the National Family Health Survey-5 were at odds with claims made by the Narendra Modi government. The survey has punched holes in the prime minister’s claims of the country being open defecation free.
