Speak For Me: This website allows you to write to your MPs against mandatory Aadhaar linking

Frustrated over government's decision to make Aadhaar linking mandatory, activists have started a website called speakforme.in.

The website enables the people to file complaints and write to their MPs against the continuous calls, messages and emails to link our Aadhaar number with various services. The website helps the citizens to urge the issue to their MPs to raise in the upcoming winter Parliament session.

It enables the user to select the state and his or her constituency in the drop down box. A template email is also available to make the Aadhaar non-mandatory. The emails can be customised too before hitting the send button. The petitions can be filed in different languages like English, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. 

In just three hours of the website going live, around 1000 complaints have been filed. The website run by 90 volunteers was started by IT professional Kiran Jonnalagadda known for starting net neutrality campaign two years ago.

"We want Parliament to discuss this. Everyone has been receiving harassing SMSes and calls to link their Aadhaar to mobile phones and bank accounts. This is coercion," Jonnalagadda was quoted saying by TOI.

The government on Wednesday extended the deadline for linking Aadhaar with bank accounts till March 31. Earlier, the deadline for linking bank accounts, mutual fund folios and insurance policies with Aadhaar was December 31, 2017. 

If you are sick and tired of getting threatened due to Aadhaar, mail your MP! Ask him/her to raise your concerns in upcoming winter session.
