The Indian National Congress has alleged that the Modi administration is deliberately restricting the Indian Space Research Organisation's functions, as reported by Nagaland Post.
The opposition Indian National Congress has publicly claimed that the current government is intentionally narrowing the scope of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
According to a report by Nagaland Post, Congress leaders said the move undermines the agency's autonomy and hampers its ability to undertake large‑scale projects.
The party did not provide specific details of the alleged restrictions, and officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology or ISRO have not responded to the claim at the time of reporting.
The allegation surfaces amid ongoing debates over India's space policy and budget allocations.
