As the country celebrated Dussehra on Saturday, the official Twitter handle of Unique Identification Authority of India, the statutory authority charged with issuing the 12-digit Aadhaar number, shared a graphic showing 10 crossbows of “good governance” aimed at Raavan’s multiple heads.
The UIDAI tweeted: “A time when the world sees the power of good governance. Let us continue this true spirit with Aadhaar… #HappyDussehra.”
In a sarcastic reply, a Twitter user who goes by the handle name #DestroytheAadhaar asked: “Sir how many Aadhaar can Ravan get? 10 faces * 10 iris pairs = 100 at least?”.
The @UIDAI, keeping a straight face, said Raavan is not eligible as he is not an Indian resident.
