Journalists adviced against Adhaar camp

In November, 2012 a Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice and Justice J Chelameshwar issued notices to Ministry of Finance, Planning Commission and the UIDAI on a PIL by a retired judge of Karnataka High Court K S Puttaswamy who said the government was bypassing Parliament by going ahead with the distribution of UID numbers. The PIL has relied on the letter sent to Prime Minister by Justice Rama Jois, former Supreme Court judge and member of Rajya Sabha questioning the legality of UIDAI.

We submit that a coalition of people who have become beneficiaries in the possible profits from biometric database have taken media persons for a ride. It may be noted that publications like Pratham Pravakata under Shri Ram Bahadur Rai, The Statesman, Teesari Duniya and Rediff.com have attempted to expose this coalition.
