“We have introduced facial authentication last year, in October 2021 which was also in response to the COVID pandemic, where um… touch-less biometric… the need for a touch-less biometric was felt”

Even stumbles over his words because he knows COVID fear enabled the facial recognition, not COVID facts.

Facial recognition is another havoc on the Indian citizens. It is being forced onto everyone who travels via air.

Soon it will be there for train/road-toll cameras etc.

Police in many states is already using it at every protest to identify the people and target them later using any selective application of law.

We are importing all these concepts from countries like China who doesn’t care about citizens and where state is above everything.
