New Delhi: Opposing the Aadhar Bill 2016 in Lok Sabha, TMC MP Mahua Moitra stated that the bill lacks transparency and violates Supreme Court judgment on Thursday. "How can I be debating the bill and be able to give assent for something I am not clear about and which is not transparent about, sir," she stated asking for more transparency in the measure during a debate on the bill.

"This bill strikes at the very heart of the primacy of an individual, and privacy of an individual's data. This is what the Supreme Court in their judgement also tried to talk about. There are three very problematic clauses in this amended bill," added Mahua Moitra. She also stated that Addhar bill was meant to provide services to the poor and was never meant to provide data. "Aadhar has become a way to give information for Pvt entities, my bank who has contracted to me, my telecom provider who has no business getting my biometric information", stated the TMC MP.
