New Delhi: A police complaint has been registered against actor Prakash Raj over his social media post mocking Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) ambitious third lunar mission– Chandrayaan-3.
The complaint was filed in a police station of Karnataka’s Bagalkot district.
As Chandrayaan-3 is managing to script history by landing on the Moon’s south pole, Prakash tweeted a picture of a cartoon depicting a man in a vest and lungi pouring tea, which he called the ‘first picture coming from the Moon’, subtly mocking the Vikram Lander of the Chandrayaan 3 mission. Now, a complaint has been filed over the same.
“A complaint has been filed against actor Prakash Raj for his post on the Chandrayaan-3 mission. Hindu organisations’ leaders filed a complaint against him at Banahatti police station of Bagalkote district and demanded action,” ANI reported.
In his tweet, the veteran actor shared the cartoon and wrote, “BREAKING NEWS:- First picture coming from the Moon by #VikramLander Wowww #justasking.” The post prompted criticism from users who found his remark derogatory with people saying that the Chandrayaan-3 mission is linked to the country’s pride.
