In an exclusive interview with CNBC TV18, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has spoken positively of Aadhaar, saying that it's not a breach of security but merely acts as a form of identification.
"Aadhaar is just something that avoids you pretending to be somebody else that you can have fake people on government payroll," he was quoted as saying.
He further added, "So the basic Aadhaar mechanism is an identity mechanism and so it is too bad if somebody thinks that because Aadhaar is there that in itself creates a privacy problem."
