Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday hit out at the government as the Aadhaar numbers and bank account details of millions in Jharkhand were compromised, terming it a "shocking breach of privacy and security".

" Shocking breach of security that has left lakhs of innocent citizens extremely vulnerable," said Gandhi on his official Twitter account, posting along with it an article in a national daily reporting the news.

"I am proud that we took the lead on Aadhaar, but let's not compromise a great initiative by turning a blind eye to major privacy and security concerns," he added.

The Aadhaar numbers, bank account details, and addresses along with names of more than a million people were compromised by an error on website, maintained by Jharkhand's Directorate of Social Security.
