UK news anchor says India shouldn't ask for foreign aid after Chandrayaan 3. Indians remind him of $45 tn Britain looted from India
Chandrayaan 3 mission has started a Twitter war after a UK-based news anchor opined that Delhi should not be asking for foreign aid following the successful moon mission. Following which, many infuriated netizens reminded him of the $45 trillion Britain looted from India in the past. It all started after the UK's GB News anchor, Patrick Christys, congratulated India on its moon mission and then asked the country to return the 2.3 billion pounds it got as foreign aid. «I would like to congratulate India on landing on the dark side of the moon. I would also like to invite India to return the 2.3 billion pounds of foreign aid between 2016 and 2021.» He added that the British taxpayer should also withhold the proposed 57 million pounds of foreign aid that the UK set to send to India next year. «We should not be giving money to countries with a space program. As a rule, if you can afford to fire rockets to the dark side of the moon, you shouldn't be coming to us with your handout,» he added.
