सोशल मीडिया और व्हाट्सएप पर वायरल एक पोस्ट में ऐसा दावा किया जा रहा है कि कैबिनेट की मीटिंग के बाद भारत सरकार ने सेना के आधुनिकीकरण और युद्ध में घायल अथवा शहीद हुए सैनिकों के लिए एक विशेष बैंक खाता खोला है।

#PIBFactCheck

यह दावा भ्रामक है।

पोस्ट में उल्लेखित बैंक खाता भारतीय सेना के आधुनिकीकरण या हथियारों की खरीद के लिए नहीं है।

यह खाता सशस्त्र सेना युद्ध हताहत कल्याण कोष से संबंधित है जिसकी स्थापना वर्ष 2020 में उन सैनिकों के परिवारों को तत्काल वित्तीय सहायता प्रदान करने के लिए की गई थी, जिन्होंने सैन्य अभियानों के दौरान अपने प्राणों की आहुति दे दी या घायल हो गए।
