New Delhi, September 8: Pakistan's remarks on Chandrayaan 2 landing came under sharp attack from senior NDA minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Sunday who asserted that the mission has rattled Islamabad. "Biggest achievement of the Modi government is that our neighbour, who is our enemy, has been rattled. Even their ministers are rattled. Let it say anything it wants," Paswan told ANI, in one of the first reactions against any comments by Pakistan.
He added, "Chandrayaan 2 is a success and our scientists have reached close to moon's surface. The Prime Minister is a true leader who stood with its people no matter what. Despite returning from a foreign country, he (Modi) arrived at ISRO to boost the morale of our scientists." Twitterati Slam Pakistan Users For Trolling Chandrayaan-2 Mission.
