On social media, a recent post by actor Prakash Raj on India’s Chandrayaan-3 Moon project has sparked outrage. On X, formerly known as Twitter, the 58-year-old made a sarcastic remark about the Chandrayaan-3 mission that many people considered offensive.
The actor shared a cartoon on social media that showed a man pouring tea. The social media users considered the post to be derogatory and disrespectful and asked the veteran actor to show some respect for hard work and effort made by Indian scientists.
A user commented, “There is a difference between hating someone and hating your country. So sad to see this state of yours!”
“This is tragically sad. The work of ISRO and Chandrayaan-3 are one of those rare things which ignites sparks of unity, passion and optimism in a billion hearts. If you can’t celebrate that, then your hate for an individual is more intense than your love for the nation,” said another user.
“Chandrayaan-3 is something the whole of India must be proud of, irrespective of political ideology. Know the boundary between political vs national trolling,” wrote one user.
Chandrayaan-3 was launched on July 14 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota and entered the lunar orbit on August 5. Scientists expect the lander to make soft landing on August 23.
