West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today questioned the Centre for making Aadhaar compulsory for availing services and whether the decision has brought down the number of terrorists infiltrating in the country.
"They (Centre) have made Aadhaar compulsory for everything. But have they (Centre) with this decision been able to bring down the number of terrorists entering the country?" she asked.
Banerjee has time and again criticised the decision of making Aadhaar mandatory and had said that linking of personal details with Aadhaar number was "dangerous" for individuals and society.
