#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?
This thread reports:
In 2017 there were only 1,544 fake #PAN numbers according Minister of State for Finance, Santosh Kumar Gangwar, then @FinMinIndia, http://164.100.24.220/loksabhaquestions/annex/12/AU980.pdf

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?

@nsitharaman
Opens up bonanza for black money & fake GST credits as she allows use of uncertified, unverified and unaudited #Aadhaar
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. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
Are subsidies, benefits and services from the Consolidated Fund of india being siphoned by the Ghosts and duplicates of Aadhaar?
In order to assign an #Aadhaar number at least two Primary IDs are required by the UIDAI - one as proof of identity and another as a proof of address. uidai.gov.in/enrolment-upda…

Some questions arising from his blog that I hope @ceo_uidai will clarify
