He said that genocide of native Kashmiris is the main agenda of Indian armed forces and for it they have now crossed all the limits. He said that on one side Indian army is killing Kashmiris by bullets but at the same time they have brought minor changes in their oppressive policies and have started killing Kashmiris by their vehicles since from past over several years.

“These so-called roads accidents are taking place under a well planned strategy to terrorize the native Kashmiris.” Waza said, adding army vehicles playing on the roads never obey traffic rules besides terrorize Kashmiris by rash driving.
