  • Fact Check: Was Gandhi family celebrating birthday as scientists used bicycle to carry rocket parts? India Today's Anti-Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that the two pictures going viral are from two different decades and have been put together to bring out a false narrative. Listen to Story India Today Fact Check The pictures are 14 years apart. ISRO scientists were carrying the rocket part on a bicycle in 1963, while the birthday celebration was in 1977. Is there any fact in the allegation that while India's space scientists had to manage with meagre resources, the Nehru-Gandhi family was splurging on luxury? A Facebook page called 'Post Card Fans' put out a post on March 27, which was shared by 8,195 users till the filing of this story. India Today's Anti-Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that both these pictures are from two different decades and have been put together to bring out a false narrative. Social media users shared a collage of two pictures - one of people walking along with a bicycle on which a conical material is being transported and the other of former prime minister Indira Gandhi, along with Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka, sitting around a birthday cake in a flight. On top of this post is written, "Never forget", and below the collage, it says, "When ISRO was carrying rocket parts on a cycle, the Nehru-Gandhi family was celebrating birthday in a chartered plane". More than 100 social media users commented on this post denouncing the Nehru-Gandhi family and hailing the present government. AFWA has found, with the help of reverse search, that both these pictures are from two different decades. The first picture, that of two men walking along a bicycle, is of India's first rocket launch, which can be seen here and read here too. The year the launch took place was 1963. The second picture, that of former PM Indira Gandhi, along with Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka, sitting around a birthday cake is from 1977. This photo is indeed clicked on an aeroplane according to this Times Now article. Dainik Bhaskar adds that this photo went viral on Rahul Gandhi's birthday last year. So to say that our space scientists were managing with meagre resources while the Nehru-Gandhi family was celebrating a birthday on a plane is misleading as both the pictures are 14 years apart.
