India’s Mars Mission raises UK’s eyebrows?
Several MPs in the UK raised their voice against sending aids to India which amounts about 280 million pounds per annum , after Indian Prime Minister,Manmohan Singh announced India’s Mars Mission on Independence Day. The David Cameron govt is already facing budget deficit due to recession and major job losses but the overseas aid budget has not been reduced!
The view point among the protesting MPs is simple that if India can afford to finance a high-tech space program , it should be very well capable of feeding its population. Quite logical, isn’t it ?
Anyways,it is lot more important to provide infrastructure and improved standard of living to every Indian without foreign aids before thinking of Mars excavation.
