THREAD: UIDAI did not follow due procedure & abused its powers. The result was (understandable) panic among people
First, @UIDAI has no power to verify citizenship. It has few powers to look into some cases of Aadhaar being granted incorrectly (rules 27 & 28)

The Deputy Director in this case made it about verifying citizenship - which they aren’t empowered to do
The identical notices don’t even provide any specific findings of the preliminary inquiry that has to be made
Notices don’t even say what these “false pretences” were

Which police officer provided you with this information? @UIDAI Can @TelanganaDGP confirm if they shared a list of 127 names with UIDAI? Can they tell us on what grounds? Since UIDAI has now shifted the responsibility to @TeanganaPolice it is their responsibility to clear the air
The words used in the notice is verification of citizenship (not validity of aadhaar). So will @UIDAI suspend the Deputy Director who issued this notice? They clearly exceeded their powers by issuing this notice
It was a bad faith & biased exercise of their powers

Request @UIDAI & @TelanganaPolice to tell us how many of those 127 listed people are Muslim & Dalit
@TelanganaPolice please stop asking for Aadhaar during your “search & cordon” operations. You’re not legally permitted to do so
