11061 - MPs Vs AADHAAR - Sunday Guardian


A NewsX-Sunday Guardian Roundtable on Aadhaar took an interesting turn when three of the four politicians on the table admitted that they did not have an Aadhaar card as yet. Subramanian Swamy, Dinesh Trivedi and Rajeev Chandrasekhar have not got an Aadhaar card made. Their concerns are related to data security and privacy. During the Budget Session, Rajeev Chandrasekhar had initiated a short duration discussion on the subject where he articulated his concerns. As for Swamy, he is very clear that the court has ruled it is not mandatory to own an Aadhaar card. He says that he is waiting for someone to question him so he can move court. So there is a lot of buzz as to when Swamy will be filing his income tax return.
