However, the seer has received massive backlash on the X platform for his statement.

A user wrote, “To call this proposal childish would be the least insult. We will call this only madness and non-Hindu proposal." Another user wrote, "Such people are the ones who promote casteism and terrorism in the country; strict action should be taken against them". One user wrote, "Get well soon".

Meanwhile, a section of politicians have expressed discontentment with Priem Minister Narendra Modi for naming the Chandrayaan-3 landing spot as a 'Shiv Shakti' point. Samajwadi Party MP Sambhal Shafiqur Rehman Barq alleged that there was a communal colour behind the move to name the Vikram lander's touchdown spot on the Moon as 'Shiv Shakti Point'. He said that the pot should have been named after former president APJ Abdul Kalam.

"Former president APJ Abdul Kalam, who was a scientist, had laid its foundation, so if it has to be named, it should be after him. Hindu-Muslim colour should not have been given to this achievement," the SP MP added. However, ISRO chairman S Somnath has urged people not to make controversy over the 'Shiv Shakti' name as it suits the landing site.
