New Delhi, Aug 22: Jammu and Kashmir's former DGP SP Vaid has sparked a row with his post on X (formerly Twitter) on the Chandrayaan-3 mission of India.
 

Shesh Paul Vaid Chandrayaan 3 Waqf land
 
The ex-DGP posted a meme on Chandrayaan which read, 'first image sent by Chandrayaan after entering the orbit: this land belongs to Waqf Board'.
 
 
Many netizens, specifically Muslims viewed the meme as communal and was aimed to target one particular community.
 
 
 
 
 
 
ISRO said the Chandrayaan-3 is set to land on the moon on August 23, 2023, around 18:04 hours IST.
 
Live actions will be available on the ISRO website, its YouTube channel, Facebook, and public broadcaster DD National TV from 17:27 IST on Aug 23, 2023.
 
While the ‘Chandrayaan-2’ mission was only “partially successful” since the lander lost contact after a hard landing, the ISRO successfully established two-way communication between the Chandrayaan-3 lander module and the still orbiting Chandrayaan-2 orbiter. In a significant development, the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter which was already fixed around the moon established a two-way connection with the lander module of Chandrayaan-3 on Monday.
