Prime Minister Narendra Modi today in an address to the nation announced that India had destroyed a live low-orbiting satellite during a missile test that placed the country in the space "super league".
He further said that the newly acquired capability will not be used against anyone and it was chiefly for nations security.
He further said, “Mission Shakti operation was a difficult target to achieve which was completed successfully within three minutes of launch.”
"Today, we have enough satellites that are contributing in various segments such as agriculture, disaster management, communication, weather, navigation etc," he said.
#MissionShakti is special for 2 reasons:

(1) India is only the 4th country to acquire such a specialised & modern capability.
(2) Entire effort is indigenous.
India stands tall as a space power!
It will make India stronger, even more secure and will further peace and harmony.
An important message to the nation. Watch. https://t.co/0LEOATgOOQ

Although this whole episode did not go down too well by the oppositions as they have slammed the announcement in the middle of the campaign for next month's national election, when a code of conduct is in place.
Rahul Gandhi took at PM Modi and tweeted.
Well done DRDO, extremely proud of your work.

I would also like to wish the PM a very happy World Theatre Day.
Reportedly, some parties also appealed to the Election Commission, but sources in the top poll body have said that "no permission of poll panel is needed for security related issues being announced."
Former diplomat KC Singh asks if BJP is so desperate to change narrative from economic issues.
So nation put on tenterhooks by PM for this? Is BJP that desperate to change narrative from economic issues. India has had this capability. Q is should we be doing it at this stage. India has been in the lead to stop proliferation of arms race in outer space. https://t.co/QuQQAb72TA

Minutes after Modi's announcement, BJP leaders congratulated the prime minister for the nation's success.
Former DRDO Chief and NITI Aayog member Dr VK Saraswat to ANI on anti-satellite weapon A-SAT: This is a fantastic capability to have and it gives us a deterrence in case our adversaries try to militarise the space or try to prevent us from using our existing space capabilities.
"Congratulations to all the scientists for carrying out Mission Shakti successfully. India is moving fast towards becoming a world leader, and under PM Modi's leadership, it is on its way to not only become a 'super economic power', but also a 'super science power'," said Nitin Gadkari.
