Who Said What:
The BJP hailed PM Modi’s announcement. “PM Modi puts India first. UPA puts family first,” said BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonwalla as reported by PTI. However, the Congress accused the prime Minister of politicising the entire matter.
Reacting to Alvi’s remark, Poonawala the Congress revealed its “anti-Hindu” stance. “Shiv Shakti Point and Tiranga Point are attached to the country. Why does Rashid Alvi find this ridiculous? The Congress has a family-first principle … Vikram Lander is named after Vikram Sarabha,” Poonawala stated as reported by TOI.
“Had it been UPA they would have never sent Chandrayaan 2 and 3, and if they did they would have named it Indira Point and Rajiv Point,” the BJP leader further added.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party MP Sambhal Shafiqur Rehman Barq alleged that there was a communal colour behind the Prime Minister’s announcement to name the Vikram lander’s touchdown spot on the lunar surface as ‘Shiv Shakti Point’.
Earlier in the day, PM Modi flew to Bengaluru from Greece to meet Indian Space Research Organisation (IISRO) scientists. PM Modi made announcements regarding the naming of Vikram Lander’s touchdown point as “Shiv Shahkti Point” while addressing the gathering of scientists at the ISRO Command Centre. The Prime Minister stated that the word “Shiv” stands for the welfare of humanity. “Shakti” stands for the required strength.
