Delhi BJP MLAs on Wednesday urged Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to call a Special Session of the Legislative Assembly on the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission , Aditya L mission and the G20 Summit along with extending gratitude to the scientists and acknowledging Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visionary leadership.

“Along with extending gratitude to the scientists and teams that made both possible, respectively, the special session needed to be held to acknowledge Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership that was behind both “historic achievements,” said the Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri while addressing a press conference along with BJP MLAs.

The Assembly should also thank Government officers and employees for the successful G20 Summit, he said.

During a joint Press conference, BJP legislators emphasised that the success achieved is not only that of our space agency but also a symbol of India’s progress and its strength on the global stage. Therefore, they believe it is essential for the legislative assembly to hold a special session so that they can also be a part of this celebration. The BJP MLAs — Mohan Singh Bisht, Bijendra Gupta, Om Prakash Sharma, Jitender Mahajan, Anil Vajpayee, Ajay Mahavar, and Abhay Varma were also present.

The BJP MLAs emphasized that landing on the south pole of the moon is not just a success for our space agency but also a symbol of how our scientists are always prepared to go beyond boundaries in their quest for knowledge. “The information we are gaining from the Pragyan rover will lead to growth in our knowledge, pave the way for new discoveries, and assist in understanding the mysteries of the moon and beyond. For this, the scientists at ISRO deserve congratulations and gratitude,” they said.

They stated that the Delhi Legislative Assembly should also welcome two important aspects related to the Chandrayan mission by naming them “Tiranga” (where the Chandrayaan-2 lander crashed) and “Shivshakti” (where Chandrayaan-3 landed). These names resonate with both our glorious history and modernity.

They are not just names; they encapsulate India’s ancient heritage and its contemporary scientific aspirations in a single thread.

Last month, India became the first country to land on the lunar south pole with Chandrayaan-3.
