Aadhaar alone cannot get one enrolled as voter, says BJP

'Opposition is spreading propaganda over the issue'

- OUR CORRESPONDENT

The BJP on Sunday accused the Opposition of indulging in propaganda after the Supreme Court said that voters excluded during the ongoing SIR exercise in Bihar can submit Aadhaar along with other documents, asserting that the apex court did not say Aadhaar alone can be a valid document to get voting rights.

Aadhaar is only proof of identity and residence and it does not establish citizenship, BJP's IT department head Amit Malviya said, adding that nowhere in the judgment did the Supreme Court even suggest that it should be used as a valid document for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).

The Opposition is spreading propaganda over the issue, he said.
