#Thread on the Ghosts of #Aadhaar

Are subsidies, benefits and services from the Consolidated Fund of india being siphoned by the Ghosts and duplicates of Aadhaar?
In order to assign an #Aadhaar number at least two Primary IDs are required by the UIDAI - one as proof of identity and another as a proof of address. uidai.gov.in/enrolment-upda…

Thanks a lot to everyone for all the support, encouragement and love we have received over the order allowing us to file IT-Returns without #Aadhar. I'm really glad we got lucky with a progressive bench that agreed to give relief to everyone instead of making it just about us.
This case has received more than it's share of attention in both print and social media. While I am definitely grateful, I would like to re-iterate that it is a part of a much larger struggle started and sustained by many activists and movements and needs to be seen as such.
The fight against #Aadhar cannot be selectively highlighted when privileged communities are affected (similar attention was received when the #privacy judgment was received and when deadlines for linking PAN, bank account and phone numbers were indefinitely extended)

There is nothing surprising. The very same method of finger print faking was demonstrated ere the Parliamentary Standing Committee that studied #Aadhar in 2011. @UIDAI knew this is possible. Biometrics is the least secure password of all (1/n)

Nobody with minimum understanding of / concern about security or privacy would plan a project like this.

#Aadhaar Day 9; Session 1 - @KapilSibal begins with reading a newspaper report abt, how ppl are being denied pension because of Aadhaar. Justice Bhushan enquires - if there are so many problems with Aadhaar, then why 1.2 billion ppl have enrolled for it? #scobserver,
replies that difference between enrolment and requirement of authentication each time. Authentication requirement continuously leads to exclusion, which is a ground for challenging Aadhar. J. Bhushan seems non-convinced. #scobserver
J. Chandrachud says that exclusion can be because of 2 factors - lack of infrastructure and biological factor like old age. Observes that government can upgrade infrastructure. ASG Tushar Mehta questions claim of exclusion due to Aadhaar. #scobserver #Aadhaar

Hilarious things happening on #aadhar under Govt pressure! @RBI opens office on a holiday to clarify its #RTI answers to @MoneylifeIndia
Its favourite paper @EconomicTimes added masala to the non-clarification! m.rbi.org.in//Scripts/BS_Pr…
Then @indiatvnews decides to cover the issue and asked me for a sound bite. Since I was clueless about clarification I spoke about our RTI

dear sir surprisingly my aunty got DBT to her Airtel Bnk A/c whch she never opened!She just linked #aadhar with Airtel number only
Now her question are as follows :
1. Who authorised IOC to transfer DBT to non verfied Airtel Bank when her @IOBIndia a/c is registered? ..
2. Does linking Aadhar to @Airtel_Presence by subscribers gives full authority to telcos to open bank account against number w/o consent ?
