New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS): Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hailed ISRO for their incredible work on the Chandrayaan-2 mission saying their passion and dedication is an inspiration to every Indian and their work is not in vain, rather it has laid the foundation for many more path-breaking Indian space missions.

His remarks came hours after the much-anticipated Vikram lander lost signal moments before its moon landing.

"Congratulations to the team at ISRO for their incredible work on the Chandrayaan 2 Moon Mission. Your passion and dedication is an inspiration to every Indian. Your work is not in vain. It has laid the foundation for many more path breaking and ambitious Indian space missions," Rahul Gandhi tweeted.

Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala also congratulated Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) saying they have traversed the new frontiers of space and made every citizen proud.

"Chandrayaan-2 mission is a testimony that ISRO's scientists have traversed the new frontiers of space and made every Indian proud."

"We see it as a new opportunity to surge ahead and reach greater heights. Future is only brighter to achieve new feats and heights," Surjewala tweeted.

Communication with Vikram was lost as the lander was descending towards the moon early on Saturday and was at an altitude of 2.1 km over the moon's South Pole where it was due to land, ISRO Chairman K. Sivan said.

    ISRO and many such institutions are the certain contribution of Congress Party, who foreseen the necessity decades back and set them up and let them grow. Yes, they missed the spot light and at times, the necessary funds. But, time again they delivered results for the country. Mangal Yaan is one of the finest example of its towering success. There are success and there are failures.

    From 2014 on wards however, things have changed. Every institutional success Modi Govt., takes the credit and for every failure, it expresses the condolences to the team. So, the pressure on ISRO or similar institutions, have risen exponentially. Political gimmicks need to stop.

    That is a gentle manly message. If it was a BJP party head, there wouldn't have been any delay in criticizing the decisions of Congress as it'd happening since 2014.
