293 - (756) - Aadhar And UIDAI Have Failed In India by Catherine Frenandes

Posted on 22nd October by Catherine Fernandes


The unique identification project of India, now known as Aadhar project of India, is one of the worst projects in the Indian history. It is managed by Nandan Nilekani as the head of unique identification authority of India (UIDAI). Both Aadhar project and UIDAI are “unconstitutional” and they are surviving only because the government of India has bypassed the parliament and imposed the project upon Indians.

Fortunately, Aadhar project/UID project and UIDAI have been “big failures” as they have failed to gain the confidence of Indian masses. All the Indian government and UIDAI could have done in this regard is imposing the same upon illiterate and poor people. The educated and well informed have stayed away from Aadhar project.

Aadhar project must be seen in the light of other illegal and unconstitutional projects like national intelligence grid (Natgrid), crime and criminal tracking network and systems (CCTNS), etc. By using the biometric data of Aadhar project and other details of national population register (NPR) with Natgrid and CCTNS, a complete e-surveillance and Orwellian state has been established in India.

Indians must use self defence methods to defeat e-surveillance by Indian government and its agencies over Internet, e-mails, telephone conversations, instant messaging, etc.

As far as Aadhar project/UID project and UIDAI are concerned, Indians must not give their biometric details lest they wish to be watched 24×7.

Let us fight against illegal and unconstitutional projects like Aadhar/UID, Natgrid, CCTNS, etc and force the government of India to respect and preserve our civil liberties.

233 - Aadhar Project Is Unconstitutional Says Praveen Dalal -

Posted on 27th Sept 2010 by Gunjan Singh

Congress party of India is in a hurry to launch the illegal and unconstitutional projects like Aadhar/UID, Natgrid, CCTNS, etc. Till now it has become absolutely clear that the government does not care about public interest and public money any more.

According, to Praveen Dalal, even the constitution of India has been totally neglected by Congress government in its zest to impose unconstitutional projects like Aadhar. He further maintains that Congress government is taking anti national steps where neither the Judiciary nor the Parliament is challenging the same.

Civil liberties like right to privacy should not be taken as lightly as has been done by Congress government. There is neither a law for Aadhar project or unique identification authority of India (UIDAI) nor is there any sort of parliamentary scrutiny as envisaged by the Indian constitution, says Praveen Dalal.

The sole purpose of projects like Aadhar, Natgrid, CCTNS, etc is to supplement the already existing e-surveillance programs of Indian government. According to Praveen Dalal, even these e-surveillance norms are illegal and unconstitutional. The information technology amendment act 2008 (IT Act 2008), the cyber law of India, was the main instrumentality to gain the illegal and unconstitutional powers of e-surveillance and Internet censoring, says Praveen Dalal.

It is high time to say no to Aadhar project and similar projects before it is too late to react.
