Claim: Request the Modi government to unearth the time capsule buried in front of the Red Fort by former PM Indira Gandhi in 1973.
Fact-check: The Silver Jubilee time capsule buried in front of Red Fort by Indira Gandhi was exhumed by the Janata government, back in 1977 - FACTLY
Verdict: following the silver jubilee of the independence, former pm indira gandhi had buried a time capsule called kalpaatra in front of the red fort on 15 august 1973. however, the move attracted much criticism over the contents of the capsule and subsequently, the janata government on 08 december 1977 exhumed the time capsule. the contents of the capsule were placed in the parliament library for mps inspection and multiple discussions took place over the content. however, the content is not made public and as of now, there are no records of what was in the capsule. a 2012 rti request with the pmo to furnish the content buried in the time capsule did not yield any result. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
