Speaking on the opposition's remark against the abrogation of Article 370, he said, "There is no point of them saying that. The people of Kashmir are happy with the abrogation of Article 370. It is now opening new opportunities for them".

Praising the Modi government, he said, "It is a matter of pride that there has been a 'quantum jump' in the field of space. A country like America, which had started its space journey much before India, now thinks that it will be able to progress with the assistance of India. India is now playing a global role in this".
Talking about the Gaganyan mission, Singh said, "The Gaganyan is completely indigenous. Indian astronauts will be there. With the help of indigenous techniques, it has been developed. The USA is now counting on us because of our experience and intelligence".
