Radhika Gupta shares 3 ways civilians can support frontline forces: 'This is the time to be united'

Edelweiss Mutual Funds CEO Radhika Gupta urged people against becoming WhatsApp warriors to avoid the spread of misinformation.

As tensions escalate between India and Pakistan, political and business leaders have been urging citizens to be wary of fake news and misinformation being spread as propaganda. They advised citizens to always check with verified sources when it comes to consuming sensitive information.

Speaking along the same lines, Edelweiss Mutual Funds CEO Radhika Gupta on Thursday shared three ways in which civilians can support frontline forces. "Spread accurate information. And if you don't have any, stay silent. A few less WhatsApp warriors hurt no one," she wrote.

Second, Gupta advised citizens to be good ambassadors to the country that our people risk their lives to defend. "Say good things, do good things. This is the time to be united, not critical," she said.

The Edelweiss MF boss also requested citizens to follow the rules and uphold the discipline that our armed forces stand for. "One person not following a rule makes life more difficult in already difficult times," she concluded.

In our own little ways, every citizen can support our frontline forces in these times.1. Spread accurate information. And if you don't have any, stay silent. A few less What'sApp warriors hurt no one.2. Be a good ambassador about the country our people risk their lives to
