Sonia congratulates scientists for placing tricolour on moon


Congress President Sonia Gandhi tonight congratulated the country's space scientists for their spectacular achievement in placing the tricolour on the moon's surface.

"This is indeed a historic moment and we are proud of our scientists," the UPA Chairperson said.

India marked its presence on moon tonight to scale this historic milestone after a Moon Impact Probe with the national tricolour painted on it crashed on the lunar surface after being detached from the unmanned spaceprobe Chandrayaan-1.
