The blog post claimed that Banerjee made ‘anti-India’ comments at a time when the entire country is mourning that the ISRO lost communication with Vikram Lander. “She has been making anti-India remarks on everything. From the martyrdom of the Indian army in Pulwama to the sending of Chandrayaan to ISRO,”\u00a0<\/em>alleges the article.<\/p>\n

The blog post has been shared on many pages<\/a> and by individual users<\/a> on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Fake quote attributed to Mamata Banerjee<\/h2>\n

The statement ascribed to Banerjee mocking ISRO was not found in any media reports. A similar sentiment was, however, expressed by Pakistani Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Hussein. He tweeted on September 7, “Don’t undertake work that you cannot do (translated).”<\/em><\/p>\n

On the contrary, Banerjee had congratulated ISRO for Chandrayaa-2 mission.<\/p>\n

A testimony to the scientific temper they ingrained in us, and their unmatched caliber and dedication. My sincere gratitude and congratulations to @isro<\/a> . We are all with you. May you continue to make us proud! (2\/2)<\/p>\n
