Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has informed Imran Khan, Chairman, Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf in an exclusive interview that "we discovered a cable in 2009 for the Islamabad Embassy. Prime Minister Gillani and and Interior Minister (Rahman) Malik were in the embassy and offered to share NADRA, that is, the voting record system of all voters in pakistan. And a front company was setup in United Kingdom (UK), International Idenntity Services, which was hired as the consultant for NADRA to scroll out NADRA data of all of Pakistan.
It seems to me that is a theft of some national treasure of Pakistan the entire Pakistani Database registry of its people." It is noteworthy that WikiLeaks divulged an alleged leaked diplomatic cable. Pakistan’s NADRA like India's UIDAI and Census Commissioner & Registrar General of India of National Population Register (NPR) which holds the personal record of the country’s citizens.
NADRA and Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) like Tariq Malik and Nandan Monohar Nilekani have been awarded by ID WORLD International Congress, the Global Summit on Automatic Identification in Milan, Italy. This coincidence merits scrutiny.
UID/NPR linked to Islamabad based National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA) was established in March 2000 to provide integrated homeland security solutions in Pakistan. Earlier, it was established as National Database Organization (NDO), an attached department under the Ministry of Interior, Government of Pakistan in 1998. On 10 March, 2000, NDO & Directorate General of Registration (DGR) merged to form NADRA, an independent corporate body with requisite autonomy to operate independently and facilitate good governance. With the mandate of developing a system for re-registering 150 million citizens, NADRA launched the Multi-Biometric National Identity Card project developed in conformance with international security documentation issuance practices in the year 2000. The program replaced the paper based Personal Identity System of Pakistan that had been in use since 1971. To date over 96 Million citizens in Pakistan and abroad have utilized the system and its allied services to receive tamper resistant ISO standard Identification Documents. NADRA has developed solutions based on Biometrics and RFID technology and has the largest IT infrastructure in Pakistan with highly qualified technical and managerial resources enabling NADRA to provide customized solutions to any country. Is there any development indicator that suggests that citizens or residents in Pakistan have benefited from UID version (Multi-Biometric National Identity Card project) there.

All happened at my work place in Goa, one young lady brought photo copy of her UID( Aadhar card) to the Headmaster of our school for certification( making true copy. Headmaster of our school nor that yung lady could not identify the details and photo shown on the UID as same as the person producing it. Headmaster was not having excess to the common server of the UIDAI to verify the details of the person. So you understood what is so called UID ?. It is day light robbery of our Biometric data, which is our privacy and personal details, sold to the private companies to whom the contracts were given under Private -Public- Partnership basis. In Goa all goans blindly did the so called AADHAR CARD.I sugest those who have not, dont do it. Can this AADHAR CARD save us from corruption ? as in Goa, can it save us from MINING SCAM ? can it save our LAND from LAND sharks ? can it erase POVERTY from INDIA ? or DEAR PRIME MINISTER this so called AADHAR CARD can distribute to the poor the food grains from the granaries before they are dumped to rot ?
