What’s wrong with one identity, asks SC
Context:
- Aadhaar becomes the sole record by which a person can establish his identity.
- But questions have been raised on this theory of “one identity for one nation”.
The argument:
- It has been argumented Government cannot reduce a citizen to just one identity, there is much more than Aadhaar.
- Thus, a person’s identity as an Indian should not be dependent on whether he has got Aadhaar or not.
- In reply, Justice Bhushan referred to Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act to justify the use of Aadhaar.
- “Aadhaar can be used for other purposes. The Aadhaar Act does not confine the use of Aadhaar to it alone. Aadhaar can be used to establish a person’s identity under any other Act.”
