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 shouldnât coming to us with your hand out." check sources The Free Press Journal Following the widespread circulation of his video on social media, he faced intense trolling from Indian netizens. check sources 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."
