Isro's satellite on the bullock cart, in which the Gandhi family's fault? - Fact check
Isro's satellite on the bullock cart, in which the Gandhi family's fault? - Fact check
Two photographs are being shared with the media claiming that when Indian Space Agency Isro was in crisis, then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's family was robbing the country's wealth.
One of them is the image of Indira Gandhi, who is seen sitting on a plane with her family.
The other image is claimed by ISRO scientists in which they are allegedly carrying a satellite on an oxidation.
This claim has been circulating on social media after the announcement made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday.
Modi addressed the country and said that India has become the fourth superpower in the field of space and Indian scientists have succeeded in breaking down a live satellite.
On the one hand, people from the southpole are calling it 'big success in the country of Modi's rule' in the Facebook groups, Twitter and on Sheraton.
There are people who support the Opposition, who want to get praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi who praised the achievement, he really got India in the Congress government.

Marks on Gandhi family
Sonia Gandhi, Rahul and Priyanka are seen in the post viral image with Indira Gandhi
But on Wednesday evening, it was found that Indira Gandhi and her family, along with the Congress Party, were targeted for the alleged disorder of the country's scientists in the groups of Southpole.
The two photographs we have mentioned have been shared and thousands of people have shared it.
Most people have written with these pictures, "Never forget that when the ISRO was bullied to take a rocket, the Gandhi family was celebrating birthdays in a chartered airplane."
In our investigation we came to know that no blurring has been done with these photographs. Both photographs are true. But these are pictures.
ISRO image
A photograph of spacecraft on ISRO's scientists and bullock cart is June 1981.
This was a picture of an experimental Communication Satellite named Apple, which was launched on June 19, 1981. This was one of the major achievements of the Indian Space Program.
People on social media have written that this satellite was taken to the bullock cart because it was in financial crisis. But this claim is completely wrong.
Scientific information expert Pallava Bagla told the BBC the full story behind this image.
He said, "The decision to take Aplet Satellite on an oxidation was taken by ISRO scientists, this was not their compulsion."

Bagla said, "At that time, Indian scientists had limited knowledge of the 'electromagnetic interference reflection' technique. The scientific satellite was not chosen to carry it on an electronic machine, because the bullock cart was selected."
Pallava Baagala says that only one former ISRO chairman told him this whole story.
This image and more information related to ISRO are both available.
But did EASRO ever face such economic shortage when Indian scientists have a shortage of resources?
Pallava Bagla says, "ISRO has always told the people that this organization has not had any resources in the government."
"When it comes to launching a new project, sometimes it has not happened that ISRO has no resources for it."
Picture of Gandhi family
This image is being written on social media that Indira Gandhi has looted the country's wealth on her family.
But according to this, this image of Gandhi family is of 1977. That is, about four years back from the launch of ISRO.
It has been written that this is a picture of Rahul Gandhi's seventh birthday (June 19).
At the time, if these reports are to be trusted.
India was in June 1977 and there was a Janata Party government in the country
