Former Pak minister praises India's 'Chandrayaan-3' mission, says his 'country should broadcast moon landing live'

Praising India's 'Chandrayaan-3' mission, former Pakistan Minister Fawad Chaudhry has said his country's media should broadcast the moon landing live, in a statement which might raise eyebrows of many considering the hostile relation between the two bordering nations.

Chaudhry, who was the Minister of Information and Broadcasting in the Imran Khan government, said on X, "Pak media should show #Chandrayan moon landing live tomorrow at 6:15 PM… historic moment for Human kind specially for the people, scientists and Space community of India…. Many Congratulations."

India waiting for Moon landing

The nation will pray together on Wednesday as the country's third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 is expected to land on the surface of the Moon later in the evening.

The special moment of landing will be telecast live.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Tuesday said the Chandrayaan-3 mission is on schedule and sailing smoothly for a soft landing on the South Polar Region of the Moon on Wednesday evening.

The systems are undergoing regular checks and the Mission Operations Complex (MOX) was buzzing with energy and excitement.
