More than 1,000 people in Meghalaya who had enrolled for Aadhaar have sought to withdraw from the biometric scheme, alleging that they were coerced/misled into it on warnings that they would lose their rights as a citizen if they did not enrol. Meghalaya Peoples Committee on Aadhaar (MPCA) an umbrella organisation of student and civil society groups, had launched a campaign to “opt out” of Aadhaar” to express their opposition and apprehension against the 12-digit unique identification number. The powerful Khasi Student’s Union, which has been agitating against Aadhaar since 2014, said that it will only facilitate illegal immigrants to strengthen their claim to being genuine residents of Meghalaya.
