Modi govt 'weaponising' Aadhaar to deny most vulnerable citizens their social welfare benefits: Congress

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 30 August 2023
The Congress on Wednesday accused the government of "weaponising" Aadhaar and technology to deny the most vulnerable citizens their social welfare benefits and demanded release of payments due to MGNREGA workers. In a statement, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the extension has been given for the fifth time. This has become inevitable because despite four extensions, 41.1 per cent of the total 26 crore job card holders still remain ineligible for this mode of payment, he said.
