The Cabinet decided to extend the deadline for the replacement of the old ID cards until March 2017. Even this extension of the deadline is something of a victory against the new surveillance by the State through electronic means. First the central fingerprint data-base has been destroyed following years of protests by many organizations, and including dozens of LALIT actions which spearheaded the campaign.
This new postponement – now until the Privy Council judgment – is just one more victory against the creeping repression through control of individuals by the bourgeois State.
