The UIDAI on Tuesday made a startling charge before the Supreme Court that Google and the smart card lobby did not want Aadhaar to succeed because if UID emerges as a foolproof way to authenticate identity, they will be out of business. Appearing for the Unique Identity Authority of India, senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi told a CJI-headed Constitution bench that a campaign had been unleashed that Aadhaar should’ve been like smart cards, a Europe-based commercial venture. “If Aadhaar succeeds, smart cards will be out of business. Google does not want it. Smart card lobby does not want Aadhaar to succeed. That’s why these allegations are being made,” he said.
