NEW DELHI: (Aug 24) The Congress on Monday slammed the Modi government for its “aggressive privatisation agenda” for the space programme and asked why ISRO should be “strangulated and emasculated” for encouraging private startups.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said there have been news reports in the past couple of days on ISRO’s future role in our country’s space programme.
“This has raised legitimate concerns given its capacities, capabilities, and competencies built up so methodically and painstakingly over the past six decades thanks to the vision, dedication, and leadership of Vikram Sarabhai, Satish Dhawan, Brahm Prakash, UR Rao, APJ Abdul Kalam, and so many other distinguished scientists and technologists,” Ramesh said on X.
