Asaduddin Owaisi says census can't be replaced with shady guesstimates based on Aadhaar data

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has said there are reports that the Centre does not want to take up census operations any time soon. 

Owaisi said the Modi government is delaying census operations, maybe to avoid taking up caste census. Like 2011 census, even the census of 2021 would have busted the propaganda of population explosion or fears of large Muslim population taking over India, he said.

Monday, Owaisi stated if data is likely to be inconvenient, the PM simply stops counting. Please don't be triggered by the word 'minority." It includes Hindus who speak minority languages also, he said. 

He said census can't be replaced with shady guesstimates based on Aadhaar data. Reports suggest data may be used instead of census. It is laughable. How can vax data tell us about religious, socio-economic and caste data?
