British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is in India to discuss the store with the new Delhi, met the co-founder of Infosys Nandan Nilekani-Klíč’s architect Aadhaar, his own digital unique Id program Id of the country on Wednesday.
Starmer and Nilekans met in the middle of the British government’s pressure to introduce a similar national identification card, looking for the world leader for the Infosys co -founder to implement a Aadhaar system in the UK.
Nandan Nilekani is widely attributed to the launch of Aadhaar in 2009, which was now published by almost all Indians and became an indispensable part of Indian identity.
According to spokesman Starmer Dave Pares, who spoke to reporters in Mumbai on Wednesday, the British Prime Minister “wanted to hear from him” because his government is trying to introduce a similar card.
Why does the UK want Aadhaar?
Keir Starmer, who spoke to journalists in Mumbai, said that the smartphone ID suggested that it is to ensure that it “solves the fact that too many people can come to this country to work illegally”.
Starmer said that for migrants it would be mandatory to show the digital ID, like Aadhaar, to prove that they have the right to work. He added that the government should make a reason to use other people, because “it would be a good pass”.
“I don’t know how many times you had to look at the bottom outlet for three accounts when you want to get your children to school, or ask for it or ask for it,” he said, referring to a system that has many institutions to check someone’s identity by referring it to his public services. “I think we could get a significant advantage.”
Similar but not the same
Keir Starmer spoke to journalists on his way to Bombay and appreciated the Indian ecosystem Aadhaar.
“I think we could get a significant advantage. We’re going to the country, India, where they have already done ID and have achieved its huge success. So one of the meetings I will have is about ID,” he said.
Aadhaar is much more used in India, with UIDAI biometric data. According to the Guardian report, the United Kingdom does not attempt to copy this, but tries to explore the way it has been used and implemented.
The idea that was first flooded and rejected in 2000 is unpopular with people across the political spectrum because they believe that they would allow the government to control where people spend their time, collect valuable data about their activities or exclude vulnerable.
