true

false. And also FUD. PAN can be used for more tacking that Aadhaar.
> 3) including things which it is not supposed to,
false, strictly what's mandated by parliament in the Aadhaar bill. In a democracy parliament is suprement, not some privacy-wallahs.

not relevant to argument

true, so? It's mandated by parliament. It's like a mandatory tax ID.
6) For demonstrably false gains (the AP results, their false reduction in costs claims)
false
Bottom line, Aadhaar is just like any other ID or Tax ID, and no amount of disinformation will change that. It stores and 4 attribues about you name/dob/gender/address and two biometrics.
Biometrics actually make the system more secure, since it's driven by a biometric based consent driven architecture with stuff like instant notifications whenever you data is assessed. Only you can allow who accesses these 4 attributes by authenticating via biometrics or by OTP.
It's mandated by the parliament. If you don't like it, please try to get a party in power which would dismantle it next time. If that doesn't happen I'm afraid the only other option for you is to move.

Another example of the quality of demeaning discourse peddled by Anti-Aadhaar lobby.
But doesn't matter. As long as the overwhelming majority of billion+ Indians keeps backing Aadhaar and keep on doing millions of transactions everyday, all this online FUD wouldn't count for anything.
