Answering to the media questions, he clarifies that this would not have been applicable to Assam, as under India’s Citizenship Act, there are separate provisions for Assam. Under the supervision of the Supreme Court, the checking of citizenship there is about to be completed.
He also clarified that Aadhaar Card will be accepted as an optional identity proof, but cannot be used as a proof for citizenship.
He said, “Supreme Court has said that Aadhaar is to be used as per Aadhaar Act. Sec 9 of Aadhaar Act says that Aadhaar will not be the proof of domicile or citizenship. Supreme Court has given several rulings that Aadhaar is not a proof of date of birth.”
