Controversy	Return Britain’s £2.3 Billion In August 2023, the remarkable success of ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 mission received global acclaim. Similarly, UK news presenter Patrick Christys praised India's achievement in its moon mission; however, some of his comments during the news broadcast stirred controversy. On his show on GB News, after extending his congratulations to India, Christys suggested that the country should think about repaying the 2.3 billion pounds of aid provided by Britain from 2016 to 2021. He said, "I would like to congratulate India on landing on the dark side of the moon, I would also like now to invite India to return the 2.3 billion pounds (Rs 24,000 crore in Indian currency) foreign aid money that we sent them between 2016-2021. We are also set to give them 57 million pounds next year. We should not be giving money to countries with a space programme. As a rule, if you can afford to fire a rocket at the dark side of the moon, you shouldn’t coming to us with your hand out." [3]The Free Press Journal Following the widespread circulation of his video on social media, he faced intense trolling from Indian netizens. [4]Hindustan Times In response to the backlash on social media, he uploaded the video of his Chandrayaan-3 commentary from the GB News channel on platform X and added the caption, "I appear to have enraged Indian Twitter." After he posted the video on X (formerly known as Twitter), numerous users responded by bringing up historical issues, demanding for the return of the Kohinoor diamond, and referring to the approximate $45 trillion that Britain is believed to have gained from India during its colonial era.
