evidence: An image containing a letter by renowned cardiologist Dr. Devi Shetty, chairman of Narayana Health, a chain of medical centers in India, has gone viral on social media platforms. The letter titled "A letter to the aam aadmi" criticizes the five percent health service tax proposed by the central government. This letter has been shared by several Indian social media users, including known political figures criticizing the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government and the country's tax system. However, this letter has been shared in the wrong context. [...] An article from March 2011 titled "Service tax on healthcare is 'misery tax’ says medical community; demands proposal be scrapped," noted that medical activists would observe March 12 as "misery day" to protest against the health service tax, demanding its rollback. The article also referred to an open letter written by Shetty. [...] A letter by renowned cardiologist Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, written in 2011, opposing the five percent health service tax proposed by the then UPA government, which was later rolled back, was shared in February 2023. Some people mistook it for a recent letter and claimed that they agreed with Shetty over his criticism of the current government's tax proposals. Therefore, we have marked this claim as misleading.
