Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari says this would infringe upon citizens' right to privacy and has asked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to clarify
The Delhi BJP, on Wednesday, asked the parents of government school children not to share details with the AAP government, except the information given at the time of admission, claiming it could be compromised.
President of Delhi BJP Manoj Tiwari said in a statement that a circular issued by the Delhi government seeks and aided government schools to provide information about the parents of the children and Aadhaar number, voter identity card and other information of their family members.
It has been stated in the circular that a data bank will be formed but the purpose has not been disclosed, he said.
"It is to be considered that the Delhi government has appointed a private company for the verification of the documents collected by the schools which means that the information of the parents of the children is being given to a private agency," he alleged.
"It is a direct attack on the right to privacy. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal must clarify that in spite of the information collected at the time of admission what is the purpose behind verification by a private company," Tiwari asked.
