‘Courage’ to take crucial step, Ex-ISRO chairman praises PM Modi on the success of #MissionShakti

New Delhi, Mar 27: After the successful operation of Mission Shakti, India witnessed mixed reactions. People praised India and DRDO for their fabulous work. The opposition criticized for shifting the attention from basic grass-root problems. Ex-ISRO chairman, K Kasturirangan said, “ he was proud that the country successfully demonstrated anti-satellite missile capability and termed it a crucial step in the space”. 

 

Kasturirangan expressed, “All I can say is it’s a very, very great event”.

Further, he added, we are all proud that we have taken the next step in the space, a very critical, crucial and probably a very difficult step to have taken successfully.

On the other hand, Ex-Chairman of ISRO, G Madhavan said, “India had the anti-satellite missile capability more than a decade ago but there was ‘no political will’ at the time to demonstrate it”.

He said, when China shot down an aging weather satellite by launching a missile in 2007, India had the technology to undertake a similar mission.

Further, He expressed, “Now Modiji has taken the initiative and he had the political will and courage to say that we will do this. We have now demonstrated this to the whole world”.
