Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that Aadhaar's biggest advantage is that it enables people to get what they rightfully deserve. Speaking at the inauguration of International Conference on Consumer Protection, the Prime Minister said, "Aadhaar ki sabse badi safalta ye hai ki jiska jo haq hai usko haq ka dene mein Aadhaar bahut badi bhoomika adaa karta hai". A plea has been moved in the Supreme Court challeging the mandatory linking of mobile numbers with the 12-digit Aadhaar number. "Government's efforts ensured that inflation has been kept under check and the consumer saves money," he said at the International Conference on Consumer Protection. On consumer protection, Narendra Modi said that it is an "inseparable part of governance" and consumer empowerment will be the salient feature of the new consumer protection act.
