Did Ratan Tata Really Advocate Linking Aadhar Card to Buy Alcohol?
News 18Apart from all the convenience that social media has brought in our lives in terms of connecting with distant friends and family, the platforms have often been used for peddling fake news by many. One such recent viral quote was being attributed to Industrialist Rata Tata where he apparently suggested that Aadhaar cards should be linked with alcohol sale and people buying liquor should be not be given free food under government schemes. Last year, for yet another misattributed news, Tata had clarified, “If I have something to say, I will say it on my official channels.” Social media is filled with similar posts linking quotes to popular business personalities that include Narayan Murthy and Anand Mahindra. https://twitter.com/anandmahindra/status/1433420836623499268?s=20 He emphasised believing in the power of social media and decentralisation of information, adding he would try to debunk such claims in the public interest if he comes across them in future.
