IN many ways the open debate was long overdue with salvos fired against UID by the Home Ministry, Planning commission, security analysts jurists and civil society. Now its is clear that it is patronage that has kept UID alive for so long. Patronage by PM to Nandan means the power equations are also becoming apparent
When so much conflict and rejection is going on within the Govt with Planning Commssion Member Secretary Sudha Pillai has questioned process, clearances and much more has been revealed about what happened in a not so transparent fashion in UIDAI. Can the supporters of UID/ aadhaar continue to unquestioningly agree to it?
