India becoming totalitarian state controlled by a master: Yechury on Aadhar

March 27, 2017 16:41

The Aadhar debate continues in the Rajya Sabha. CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury says, "All of us know #Aadhaar is defective. There are lakhs of complaints about it. This Aadhaar is leading to creation of a surveillance state in India. Violative of my fundamental right to liberty. You have a govt that doesn't have the courage to come forward and say 'I'm abolishing this Constitution. Much like Matrix, an Aadhaar number can just vanish and you won't be a citizen anymore. Who controls this data? Which private company has access? This country is being reduced to a totalitarian state controlled by a master."
