Beware! No cabinet meet held regarding army's special fund, old message going viral with misleading claims

A message about a bank account is going viral on social media, urging people to donate Rs 1 per day. It is being claimed that the Narendra Modi government recently opened this account during a cabinet meeting, based on a suggestion by Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, to support the modernisation of the Indian Army and assist soldiers who are injured or martyred in war. However, the truth is that no such cabinet meeting has taken place recently, nor has any such decision been made. The viral post also claims that the fund will be used to purchase weapons for the Army and paramilitary forces.
