People were forced to get UID by misinformation. The people were led to believe it was compulsory. Only by intervention of the supreme court, the govt was forced to admit it was optional. This was introduced undemocratically without legislative back up with an executive order. An example of corporate insensitivity to democracy. BJP pretended to be against UID before election. Now they have conveniently forgotten their stand.
Now there is legislation for UID, but this was introduced by deception. It was introduced as money bill in parliament, so that rajyasabha could not discuss it(BJP has majority in loksabha). Money bill can only deal with govt finances but it is now used to give approval for data collection, which needs constitutional amendment in a real democracy. This is again undemocratic and fascist. The stated aim of biometrics was to avoid duplication. but by insisting on 10 fingerprints and iris, the real aim is data collection itself. But they are really not sure UID biometrics is enough to avoid duplication, there is condition like you can only apply for it once. UID is successful by deception, ignorance, and undemocratic methods.
