Meanwhile, Supriya Sule told ANI, "This is ISRO's (Indian Space and Research Organisation) success and this is quite obvious. Our first Prime Minister Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru always concentrated on promoting Science in the country. There has to be a scientific temper in India. I feel that it is more of the ISRO's success than that of the government".

In a monumental achievement that garnered praise from across the globe, Chandrayaan-3, India's third lunar mission, successfully accomplished a soft landing on the moon's south pole on Wednesday.
