Raza, who broke down in tears said, "Last night, the whole nation was awake along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and eagerly awaiting the successful landing of Chandrayaan-2. It was a very sad moment when the communication (with Vikram lander) suddenly got lost as our scientists had worked day and night for this mission," reports news agency IANS.
Raza who is the&nbsp;former Union Minister of State for Science and Technology also said that in the near future,&nbsp;Chandrayaan will land on the moon. The minister also congratulated ISRO scientists for laying a strong foundation for India's future space missions.
Raza also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his words of encouragement and motivation tp ISRO scientist. While speaking about the same, the Union Minister said, "I have no words for Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the way he appreciated and consoled the scientists at such an emotional moment. Only a Prime Minister who has a large heart can do such a thing."
