The Union Home Ministry has sought a clear cut direction from the Cabinet Secretary on who will do the enrollment in the Unique Identification (UID) project.
In its note to the Cabinet Secretary, the Home Secretary has stated that the UID data collected by the various UID centres is not reliable as anyone can register themselves under any name and address.
The UID project is headed by Nandan Nilekani, former CEO of Infosys.
The Home Ministry has also written to the Prime Minister asking for a final decision as soon as possible.
The row between the UIDAI chairperson Nilekani and Home Minister P Chidambaram has been continuing for some time with the latter alleging that the biometric census as done by the UID project was flawed and not a secure data.
Defending the procedure, UIDAI chairperson Nilekani had said that the Aadhar cards were given on the basis of the UID data collected according to the defined procedure.
