The task ahead

Sir, - In your Editorial, `Further into space' (April 20) you have referred to the task ahead for the scientists, especially in areas of indigenisation and in drawing the attention of the masses to the advances in science. But, it is sad that the Prime Minister was not allowed to make a statement on the GSLV launch in the Rajya Sabha. However, Mr. Vajpayee's statesmanship saved the situation. Ms. Sonia Gandhi's choice of the place and time for claiming the Congress Government's share in the glory appeared childish, if not wrong.

K. Vaithinathasamy,
