"Liquor sales should be sold through Aadhaar card. Government food subsidies should be stopped for alcohol buyers [sic]," the quote attributed to Ratan Tata read, according to a screenshot the business leader shared on his Instagram Stories this afternoon. "Those who have the facility to buy alcohol can definitely buy food. When we give them free food they buy alcohol," it continued. As per news report of NDTV, Ratan Tata, Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, flagged the post as fake. "This was not said by me. Thank you," the 83-year-old wrote while sharing a screenshot of the post, along with a GIF with the words "Fake News".
