Why did the BJP clarify the Supreme Court's stance on Aadhaar during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar?
Because Aadhaar alone cannot establish citizenship or voting rightsThe BJP, through its IT head Amit Malviya, clarified that the Supreme Court did not rule that Aadhaar alone can be used to obtain voting rights during the SIR exercise in Bihar. Aadhaar serves as proof of identity and residence but does not establish citizenship, which is crucial for voter eligibility. The party accused the Opposition of spreading misinformation by suggesting otherwise. The Court allowed Aadhaar to be submitted along with other documents, not as a standalone proof. This clarification is vital to prevent misuse of the ruling and maintain the integrity of the electoral process.
