Modi govt 'weaponising' Aadhaar to deny most vulnerable citizens their social welfare benefits: Congress

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 30 August 2023

In a statement, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the extension has been given for the fifth time. This has become inevitable because despite four extensions, 41.1 per cent of the total 26 crore job card holders still remain ineligible for this mode of payment, he said.
