Digital NIC: FSP challenges NPP for a debate
The Frontline Socialist Party (FSP) yesterday (05) challenged President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, who is also the Digital Economy Minister, or his deputy Eranga Weeraratne, for a debate over the Indian-funded project to introduce digital National Identity Cards (NICs).
On behalf of the FSP Pubudu Jagoda issued the challenge at a media briefing held at his Nugegoda party office. The breakaway JVP faction alleged that in the guise of digital NIC project, the NPP government intended to hand over biodata of Sri Lankans to India.
