Lauding the Indian Space Research Organisation for the successful launch of lunar mission Chandrayaan-3, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday said it was testimony to the vision, foresight, determination and accomplishments of all previous Prime Ministers, including Atal Bihari Vajpayee. We express our sincere gratitude to the extraordinary team at ISRO.” He said said India’s lunar missions began with the historic Chandrayaan-1 in 2008 confirming the presence of water molecules on the Moon. “Today, Chandrayaan-3 is a testimony to the vision, foresight, determination and accomplishment of all our previous Prime Ministers, including Pandit Nehru ji, Lal Bahadur Shastri ji, Indira Gandhi ji, P V Narasimha Rao ji, Rajiv Gandhi ji, Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji and Manmohan Singh ji,” Mr. Kharge said, adding, “It is our sincere tribute to Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and Dr Satish Dhawan and countless visionary scientists who devoted their lives to establish and inculcate scientific temper for human and social development for our people.” Recalling the journey of India’s space research, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said on Twitter, “Indian National Committee for Space Research was set up in February 1962, thanks to Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai. It was his vision and later that of Satish Dhawan that gave India’s space programme a unique developmental purpose.” “Between 1972 and 1984, Dhawan guided and mentored the ISRO community in every way.
