The funniest part of all this is that, the breach, or sharing biometric data of anyone in India is perfectly LEGAL !
India doesn't have any data protection laws and thus its not an issue as per the law to share, ditch or give away anyone's biometric information. In the first place the last goverment (who originally started this massive scam) and current goverment near illegally collected the data of the people.
So the real issue is, the quazy government body got legal status only recently and they silently collected data of people.
Often the data collection was misguided and misinformed as another legal project by the name NPR (national population registry).
Also this unique ID, popularly known as Aadhar can be taken by anyone living in India irrespective of their citizenship. It gets even funnier and vague as even dogs have Aadhar!

The program is imposed against laws of the country and against the supreme courts ruling by various means and threats.
They are now threatening to lock down bank accounts, mobile phones etc.
The misinformation was so bad that, me a computer science engineer with reasonable knowledge couldn't prevent my parents from falling into the trap. My Dog, me, my wife and few others are very few who is not having this idiotic thing now. I am not sure how long we will be able to fight, but we will till the last moment.
