"I am in conversation with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari to link Aadhaar card with (driving) licence, so that if a drunk driver escapes from one state to another by killing people, he would be caught. A person can change name not his/her fingerprints," Prasad said while addressing a press conference here.
Earlier in February this year, the Centre proposed to link driving licences with Aadhaar card in order to weed out fake licences. (ANI)
