The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India issued the following statement on September 07, 2019:

Communist Party of India congratulates Indian Scientific community involved in Chandrayan II for their hardwork and efforts.

Failures are stepping stones for the progress towards success in Science. ISRO founded by visionary scientists like Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai has been shaped by Satish Dhawan, Yashpal, U.R. Rao and others into a world class space organisation.

Even space organisations from France and Japan are taking the benefit of capabilities of our Space Scientists.

Communist Party of India congratulates ISRO, the team leaders who led this project and notes that female scientists played a great role in this effort.

CPI feels that scientific community of India made us feel proud, and strongly demands that greater fund allocation should be made to strengthen further ISRO and other premier scientific organisations.
