New Delhi, Jan 17 (UNI) Taking a potshot at the NDA government linking all services with Aadhaar, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that under the present regime, Aadhaar was being used as 'a compulsory weapon to disempower citizens'.
In a post on social media, Mr Gandhi said, 'UPA's Aadhaar = A voluntary instrument to empower citizens.
NDA's Aadhaar = A compulsory weapon to disempower citizens.'
The comments by the Congress president came even as the Supreme Court is hearing a petition challenging the decision to make Aadhaar compulsory for availing basic services .
