Addressing a programme at the Raj Bhavan on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said, "We are very proud that as children of Bharat, the country, we are celebrating Raksha Bandhan in the country, in this world now but we can celebrate Raksha Bandhan even in the Moon."
“We have landed on the Moon - Chandrayaan. So, we are very proud about our space scientists. And we are thankful to our Prime Minister for creating such a situation. Now, we are not just reaching the Moon, we are going to reach the Sun also. That is a great initiative from our scientists,” she added.
The Governor was addressing the ‘Rakhi for soldiers’ programme organised by Samskruti Foundation (SF).
