Property must be linked to aadhaar

The decision not to link all properties to aadhaar is wrong and bad for fight against corruption.

Aadhaar must become universal identity for all citizens. It should replace all cards:

- PAN
- Voters card
- Any other identity card except passport

There is no fight against corruption until all loopholes are plugged. It is necessary to identify and link to owners every bit of
- Bank account
- Lockers
- Property
- Jewellery
- Company and business ownership
- Shares and bonds
- Vehicles
- Big expenditure, sales and purchases
- Credit cards
- Travels
- Foreign Exchange

In addition voters card too must give way to aadhaar card to stop bogus voting.

In fact the decision to link aadhaar to all properties should have been taken suddenly along with demonetization. Why so much time has been given to everyone who has undisclosed property? Most of the black money is not in cash, it is in the form of property. So unless every property is identified, the fight against corruption will remain a failure.

Are we serious against corruption or not?

If yes then why we are not linking aadhaar with property and other assets? And we must have
- Strong and free lokpal
- Independent investigative agency

In fight against corruption we can not stand on border. If we are fighting against corruption then it must be all out war against corruption or we should stop posturing so. In a country where people are dying from hunger and lack of healthcare what more is needed to crush corruption. Only question is - are we serious?

Are we serious?
