New Delhi, Mar 27 (IBNS): Congress president Rahul Gandhi made a veiled attack on PM Narendra Modi after he addressed the nation over the Mission Shakti issue and wished him on 'World Theatre Day'.

"Well done DRDO, extremely proud of your work. I would also like to wish the PM a very happy World Theatre Day," Gandhi tweeted.

Modi addresses the nation:

Scaling up defence capability in the outer space, India on Wednesday achieved a rare capability by joining the big league of the US, China and Russia and successfully tested an anti-satellite (ASAT) missile.

"This was just only in three minutes, Congratulations to everyone on the success," the Prime Minister said in an address to the nation.

"India has demonstrated the rare anti-satellite missile capability," the Prime Minister said and added the Mission Shakti was aimed at strengthening India's security.

Modi said on Twitter that the Mission Shakti was special for two reasons - India has emerged as the fourth country to acquire such a specialised and modern capability.

"This venture is in no way violation of any pact or international law," he said.

"India stands tall as a space power! It will make India stronger, even more secure and will further peace and harmony," he later tweeted.

He said The Mission Shakti was a highly complex one, conducted at extremely high speed with remarkable precision.

"It shows the remarkable dexterity of India’s outstanding scientists and the success of our space programme".
