'Some have moon on flags, some flag on moon’: Harbhajan trolls Pakistan over Chandrayaan-2, not everyone is impressed
Harbhajan Singh took a dig at the countries who have moon in their flags and said India will have their flag on the moon.
Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh on Monday celebrated the successful launch of indigenous moon mission -- Chandrayaan-2 -- from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.
The off-spinner took a dig at the countries who have moon in their flags and said India will have their flag on the moon.
Harbhajan Singh took to Twitter and wrote, "Some countries have the moon on their flags. While some countries having their flags on the moon. #Chandrayaan2theMoon."
Harbhajan's jibe was clearly directed at Pakistan. While some cheered him for delivering a 'sick burn', some were not impressed as it seemed like a comment on many all Muslim countries.
Harbhajan Singh sent the tweet after ISRO successfully launched its second moon mission Chandrayaan-2 from its most powerful rocket with a plan to land the rover on September 7 in the unexplored lunar south pole.
Harbhajan tweeted, “Some countries have moon on their flags. While some countries having their flags on moon.”
He posted the flags of Pakistan, Algeria, Turkey, Maldives, Mauritania, Tunisia, Libya, Malaysia and Azerbaijan in the first while the flags of India, United States of America, China and Russia in the second category. USA, Russia and China are the only three powers to have successfully landed on the surface of the moon.
Some on Twitter praised Harbhajan's tweet calling it a brilliant dig at one nation i.e. Pakistan.
