Days after the similar claim that was debunked by the Government of India, senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Wednesday, ahead of the completion of the historic mission Chandrayaan-3, said that government has not paid the salaries to the scientists involved in the mission from last 17 months.

On the day of Chandrayaan-3’s attempt to land on moon, the veteran leader asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should take a note of it and disburse their salaries.

Here’s what Digvijay Singh said:

“We are proud that ISRO scientists are making an effort for the successful lunar landing of Chandryaan. We pray to the Almighty for their success. But there are reports in newspapers that the scientists who made this happen have not received a salary in 17 months. Prime Minister should take note of this too,” Singh told ANI.

Amit Malviya’s reply to Digvijay Singh:

Replying to the sarcastic remarks by the Congress leader, national convener of IT Cell at BJP, Amit Malviya, rubbished the information. Taking it to twitter, he mentioned, “The abominable Digvijay Singh called out for peddling #FakeNews on the day ISRO is all set to make India proud. Congress hates Prime Minister Modi, but it hates a strong resurgent India even more, because a confident India will never vote for the Congress.”

“While India celebrates Chandrayaan-3, Congress whines,” he added.
