Social media is replete with an array of information but not everything which is available online is true. It is always easy to fall prey to misinformation and fake news. Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons Ratan Tata cautioned everyone against a viral post which is doing the rounds of the Internet. The 83-year-old industrialist clarified that the statement on the sale of liquor using Aadhaar cards which has gone viral has been wrongly attributed to him. I’m flattered that some believe my statements are quotable & I’ve always believed in the power of social media to democratise information & share knowledge. But the downside is wrongly attributed quotes! I’ll do my best to call them out whenever possible pic.twitter.com/2D3XrD4GpH “Liquor sales should be sold through Aadhaar card. Government food subsidies should be stopped for alcohol buyers. Those who have the facility to buy alcohol can definitely buy food. When we give them free food they buy alcohol,” this is the viral statement that is being circulated with a picture of Ratan Tata.More Related News
