The world is lauding India's Chandrayaan-3 landing on the moon, with many countries congratulating ISRO scientists for achieving something that was thought impossible till now.
But it seems like some Journalists are irked by India's space achievement. Reality TV personality and political broadcaster, Sophie Corcoran said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the UK should not send aid to India since it has an advanced space programme. She also said it's time "we get our money back".
Another New Presenter of British News named Patrick Christys also criticised India and asking the country to return Britain's money.
"The world is laughing at Britain over this, and the British Government is laughing at us," said the Presenter.
Although he is congratulating India in his news report for its successful moon mission, but says 'as a rule, if you can afford to fire a rocket at the dark side of the moon, you shouldn't be coming to us with your hand out for foreign aidand is asking why the UK sends billions in foreign aid to countries who don’t need it, while many are struggling here in Britain."
The post of Corcoran and Christys video started gaining traction and users from India were quick to point out that the UK should also return the money looted from India. They claimed the amount was $45 trillion.
Indian's are outraged by the comments of these journalists, and their commente created a buzz of 45 trillion.
Some users are saying just subtract $44 trillion you have looted from and Give back our Kohinoor also.
According to a news report published in The Guardian in March this year, the UK's aid to India was meant to have stopped in 2015 after India said it did not want it, but a review by the Independent Commission for Aid Impact said that around 2.3. billion pounds (Rs 23,000 crore) in UK aid went to India between 2016 and 2021.
This included the provision of loans by the government-run British.
I think it's high time, Journalists stop spreading misinformation and be happy about a country achievement.
