Chidambaram was quick to point out the M S Dhoni incident. He said that Sakshi Dhoni had raised concerns after her husband's Aadhaar card details were posted on a public forum.

How do you propose to protect the privacy of individuals after transactions are linked to Aadhaar, Chidambaram asked. When the Pentagon is hacked, how can you be so sure that Aadhaar will not be, the former finance minister of India asked.

Hacking does not happen because of Aadhaar. The Pentagon was hacked without Aadhaar, Jaitley shot back. Those on the treasury benches applauded Jaitley for his response.

Chidambaram was however not amused. He stood up and shot back, ' if you do not want to answer, then just say no." Jaitley however told the former minister that he was serious in his answer. If firewalls are breached then they can happen anywhere, he told Chidambaram.
