AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has submitted a notice in Lok Sabha "to oppose Election Laws (Amendment) Bill 2021 which proposes to link Aadhaar to electoral roll enrolment."
In his letter to the Secretary-General Lok Sabha, Owaisi said, "The Bill is outside the legislative competence of the House as it violates the limits on legislation set by the Supreme Court in its judgment. The linking of voter IDs and AADHAAR violates the fundamental right to privacy as defined by Supreme Court in its judgment. The House is not competent to enact a law that violates the fundamental rights of citizens."
