Scores of Kashmiri drivers who operate on Jammu-Srinagar highway held a protest on Friday against the torching of their vehicles in Jammu violence.
The Kashmiri drivers said that they are always targeted whenever situation turns ugly in and outside Kashmir.
The protesting drivers said that scores of Jammu drivers are here in Kashmir also “but no one has touched them, we even went to them and offered our help.”
“…but on the other hand we are always assaulted,” they rued.
The drivers raised slogans against the administration and accused them of doing nothing to safeguard Kashmiri drivers in Jammu.
“Many of our vehicles were torched and countless vandalized, but still no one is taking any concrete step in safeguarding our life and property,” Suhail, one of the drivers who didn’t give his second name, said.
The protesting drivers said that some individuals from Sikh community helped the drivers otherwise the losses could have been more.
