Will recently amended Birth Registration law be (mis)used to curb voting rights, even launch the dreaded NPR?

A Legal Researcher -
After the Lok Sabha passed Bill (amendment to the 1969 Births & registration law) to create a National Database of Births & Deaths giving sweeping powers (and control) of birth, death registration data to the union government, its serious implications need to be examined. With birth registration already having severe loopholes (77 % of children in urban areas and only 56.4 % in rural areas have had their births registered) if a birth registration certificate is made a precursor to the right to vote, implications could be disastrous. And undemocratic.
