Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia has been a big supporter of the UIDAI project. And, as if to strengthen his belief in the UIDAI, at a function on Friday when he said in the course of his speech that he had lost his Aadhaar card, the UIDAI acted swiftly and gave him a duplicate card in less than an hour, before the end of the event. A pleased Mr. Ahluwalia, showed the duplicate card to photographers.
