Aadhaar flip-flop

-

With reference to “Now, Aadhaar must for opening bank accounts” (June 17), earlier it was for direct benefit transfer schemes, then PAN linking and now it is bank account. If the government thinks that all other documents that are considered as proof of identity are useless then it would be better that it came out with a single ordinance that henceforth, no documents other than Aadhaar would be admissible for identity proof. Why go for frequent and piecemeal legislatio­ns?

Also, it shall be remembered that Aadhaar was introduced under the previous government when the current party in power had vehemently opposed it.
