Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah express hope of Chandrayaan-3’s success

National Conference (NC) leaders Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah on Wednesday expressed hope that Chandrayaan-3 will successfully complete its journey to the moon.

“We are very hopeful that the journey of Chandrayaan-3 will be completely successful today. We are eagerly waiting for the pictures and videos from the part of the moon where no country has so far managed a soft-landing,” Omar Abdullah told reporters at the party office in Srinagar.

NC president Farooq Abdullah also lauded “our scientists” for doing “yeoman’s service” to put India on the space map.

“I and all of us are proud of our scientists who have done a yeoman’s service to put India on the space map. Congratulations to everyone,” Farooq Abdullah told PTI.

Remembering former President APJ Abdul Kalam, “who was a pillar in all these things”, he said India has progressed tremendously in the space sector ever since he was elected to the top constitutional post.

Excited students in Jammu and Kashmir were seen cheering for the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3's lunar module on the moon's surface, calling it a proud moment for the country. (PTI)
