Fielding questions on Twitter in a live chat, Unique Identification Authority of India CEO Ajay Bhushan Pandey said that Aadhaar is based on minimum information and biometrics which is “least intrusive”. Maintaining that introduction of Virtual ID and limited eKYC had nothing to do with data leak stories pertaining to Aadhaar, Pandey said they were conceptualised for strengthening the privacy system. #AskAadhaar pic.twitter.com/8WaJb6Y6Co — Aadhaar January 28, 2018 Pandey said that Aadhaar was protected by strong laws, and that Aadhaar Act is “based on the premise that privacy is a fundamental right”.
