Planning commission member secretary Sudha Pillai notched up a moral victory in her campaign against the Unique Identif-ication Authority of India.
The plan panel has decided to withdraw its Cabinet note seeking a mandate for UID beyond March 2012.
Pillai had been accusing the UID of violating government norms but her claims were brushed aside by the UID and the panel. Now, the decision to withdraw the note after opposition from different ministries seems to have vindicated her stand. Not so unique anymore, it would seem.
