Perfectly fine if SC makes Aadhaar non-mandatory: Nilekani
Infosys Co-founder and the brain behind Aadhaar, Nandan Nilekani has said he will be perfectly fine if Supreme Court rules that Aadhaar is non-mandatory for citizens. On Aadhaar being used as state surveillance, Nilekani said, "It is an over-inflated fear. Aadhaar by definition does not collect data." He added, "If you want to do surveillance, just use your mobile phone."
