#Aadhaar is a merely a number that is assigned to demographic and biometric data that is never certified, verified, or audited by anyone.

Why then is everyone being coerced to get an Aadhaar and link it to a PAN that already provides verified tax history?

Questions for the @narendramodi @PrakashJavdekar @Jairam_Ramesh @moefcc on India's commitment to the environment and the purpose and validity of the #EIA2020 India emits about 4.85 GT of Carbon every year. It absorbs less than 0.28 GT of carbon through its existing forest and tree cover. How can the Ministry claim it is assessing environmental impact if there is no public record of carbon emissions projects cleared by the ministry?

In place of PERMANENT Account Numbers.

At least 58 crore Aadhaar are suspected to be benami to facilitate black economy.
timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india… The #Aadhaar doesn't identify anyone, is useless to do authentication for identification, doesn't take any responsibility.

The UIDAI doesn't even know the source or authenticity of the demographic and biometric data associated with an Aadhaar.
