@no2uid Madras HC has expressed alarm on voter profiling & targeting by political parties through Aadhaar. “[I]t is also evident that personal details of voters and citizens may have been obtained by such political party and put to use for campaign purposes.” 2/n

@no2uid Expert opinion by @JagdeepChhokar shows the danger of Aadhaar-Voter ID linkage. “Election Commission, in collaboration with the Law Ministry seems to be trying to circumvent the Supreme Court’s directions, which is inappropriate and not acceptable.” 3/n

@no2uid @JagdeepChhokar We thank @WriterRavikumar for a notice to oppose introduction. Directions of the Supreme Court, our fundamental right to privacy & preservation of electoral democracy requires resistance to Aadhaar-Voter ID linkage. Request all MPs to also oppose it. 4/n

@no2uid @JagdeepChhokar @WriterRavikumar The Election Commission has incorrectly stated that Aadhaar-Voter ID passes the, “proportionality test”.
