NEW DELHI, Dec. 9 -- Indian Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday said that banning cab services in the wake of the recent rape of a 27-year-old woman by a cabbie in the national capital "is not a solution".
The minister's remarks are apparently contradicting his own government's stand on the issue.
"It doesn't make sense to ban services, tomorrow if something happens in a bus we can't ban that, the system needs to be changed. The system of giving drivers license is faulty and a new digitalised system will be designed where everyone's track record can be viewed," Gadkari told the media.
The transport minister's comments came hours after the Indian Home Ministry asked all states to ban all unlicensed web-based cab services and a day after the U.S.-based cab company Uber was banned from operations in the national capital, following the rape of the woman in one of its cabs late on Friday night.
The woman was raped by the cabbie, now in police custody, on Friday night when she took an Uber taxi for returning home after a party.
