Instead, it asked the Central Government to create a national citizen register and issue multi-purpose cards to all citizens to fulfill security concerns.
"We can understand the Lt Governor's intention. But in reality 50 per cent of the people in Delhi does not possess any kind of identity card," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
He said the BJP had been demanding creation of a national citizen register and issuance of multi-purpose smart cards, which is handy and water-proof.
"In the present situation, the suggestion seems to be impractical," he said.
Javadekar said it is to be seen whether Delhi Lt Governor's Tejinder Khanna's suggestion fulfills the basic aim of addressing security concerns or is reduced to just checking of citizens.
"We will have to wait and see whether it works or troubles the people," he added.



Congress should stop drama and enact proper laws to face terrorists and terrorism.MAKE LAW WORK.DECIDE CASES FAST.All dignitaries ,so called, must carry Icards so that terrorists can verify before acting!FOR HEAVEN SAKE DONOT BOTHER HONEST CITIZENS!
HI.Javdekar.Was it not the revered Lal Krishna Advani who proposed a national identity card as in the Arab countries similar to the social security number in the united States.Why are you back stepping my dear. This is no good.We need such identification to fight terrorists.
dear prof., you have not read carefully what BJP said. BJP is asking for issuing multi-purpose identity cards for every Bharatiya. In fact, last BJP-NDA govt was trying to create such a ID cards. Unless there is any ID cards, what Delhi govt etc going to check? Can we eat chappati without having atta? Govt must create a mechanism to issue multi-purpose ID cards for all Bharatiya, and it must be done war-footing.
What sort of prof. are you S.Divakaran who does not understand the difference between a national ID card and a delhi ID card. well pointed Satya.
Its a very nice move to check the ID cards atleast in New Delhi. It is a high time it is made mandatory for everyone in India to carry one, and govt. should issue one unique biometric national ID card on the lines of social security number here in US. Let us work together and up root terrorism from India once and forever.
Yes, first govt must issue cards, then talk about checking. What Delhi govt doing is simply a gimmick, they know they can't implement it. What they will do if illegal Bangladeshis can't show any ID cards? Are they going to deport them? Oh no, they are Congress vote-banks. In Delhi there are over 10 lakhs illegal Bangladeshi muslims. If Delhi govt is serious, then it must start issuing multi-purpose national ID cards. Then talk about checking.
Next thing you know, they will pass a law requiring all terrorists to carry ID cards carrying the word TERRORIST printed in large letters.
The seed(s),for making India,a POLICE STATE,has been sown by the Congress party,a la its master,the USA.
