This time last year, we were anxiously waiting for the Supreme Court's Constitution Bench to pronounce the #AadhaarJudgment. We were hopeful, we were worried, but we think we were prepared. #Aadhaar wasn't - isn't - going away so easily. The govt has continued pushing #Aadhaar...
..and so we need to keep talking about #Aadhaar, we need to mark this "anniversary" of the #AadhaarJudgment as a day we were reminded of how uphill the struggle for rights is. @aamvakil and @godavar tell us where we stand and what we are still fighting

We cordially invite you to a press conference TODAY, from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, at Indian Women’s Press Corps (Windsor Place, Delhi) where we will demand that @ECISVEEP seek the dismissal of a petition filed in Delhi HC which proposes linking #Aadhaar with voter ID.
We will release a statement endorsed by over 200 concerned citizens requesting the Election Commission of India (ECI) to oppose the linking of Aadhaar to Voter IDs. Speakers include #UshaRamanathan, @JagdeepChhokar and @prasanna_s.
Here's our press release. You can also read it online at the link below:

On Friday, Jan. 4, Lok Sabha passed the #AadhaarAmendmentsBill with very little debate and scrutiny. We hope that the Rajya Sabha will offer more resistance to the Bill. We demand that Parliament review, rethink, and rework this awful Bill.

We have previously listed a number of concerns with the #AadhaarAmendmentsBill, which can be read here:

We are also alarmed by the government misleading Parliament, both on the Bill itself and on the purported savings resulting from linking Aadhaar to various schemes. IT Minister RS Prasad has claimed that the Amendments are in compliance with the SC whereas they can SC orders.
