Kamayani Bali Mahabal posted in Say No to UID. Kamayani Bali Mahabal 6:46pm Nov 9 Aadhar And UIDAI Remains Unconstitutional And Illegal Aadhar project or unique identification project of India (UID project) is one of the most controversial projects of India. Aadhar is managed by Nandan Nilekani led unique identification authority of India (UIDAI). Both Aadhar project and UIDAI are not regulated by any legal framework and they are well beyond the parliamentary scrutiny. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether the parliament of India would make Aadhar project and UIDAI *constitutional and legal* < http://www.facebook.com/l/e9ed3PPl8BTaBj-aAi7tHqzia4g;cjnews.noads.biz/?p=283> this winter session (November 2010). According to the "*constitutional analysis*< http://www.facebook.com/l/e9ed3ErgzAP8LtX7T3tyGpv_Npg;hrpic.blogspot.com/2010/06/appraisal-of-national-identification.html>" made by Praveen Dalal, managing partner of Perry4Law, the proposed National Identification Authority of India Bill 2010 by Nandan Nilekani still is not enough to take Aadhar project and UIDAI out of the ambit of unconstitutionality and illegality. Even if the parliament of India approves this faulty Bill, both Aadhar and UIDAI are still unconstitutional and illegal as they do not provide for *privacy rights*< http://www.facebook.com/l/e9ed32OlIwQeXNqqhBawiE3K2fw;cjnews.noads.biz/?p=584>and data protection. This is the reason why we *must fight* < http://www.facebook.com/l/e9ed3hQcE_234vb-vlfF8Na4Ocw;cjnews.noads.biz/?p=548>against the Aadhar project as much as possible. As a matter of fact, Aadhar has *failed* < http://www.facebook.com/l/e9ed3srH3JywS-Cz_kcyxruCUEQ;cjnews.noads.biz/?p=570> in India. Further, UIDAI is also deviating from its declared policies and guidelines. For example, UIDAI has opted for *proprietary software* < http://www.facebook.com/l/e9ed3Ajnhfmj3fm9TnKOVG-ZTUw;cjnews.noads.biz/?p=601> and is backing away from its open technological standards. UIDAI has in its policy declared that there would be no vendor lock-in and by this selection it is violating its own declared policy. Since no privacy laws and data protection laws have been drafted so far, there are little chances that parliament of India would legislate on these crucial fields this winter session. This means that both Aadhar project and UIDAI would still remain unconstitutional and illegal this year and we must fight against this position before we submit our crucial and sensitive biometric details. http://www.facebook.com/l/e9ed31tNRiklY2HoRdt1fDcM1Tg;cjnews.noads.biz/?p=664 -- View on Facebook · Edit Email Settings · Reply to this email to add a comment.
