    When we fail to deal with justice the supreme judge take over the case. He may be a active member of genocide.

    Killing terrorists who used children in warefare is not genocide. You low caste ignoramus

    Is this an engineered accident?

    Ambulances, vehicles from various defence establishments drive as if they own the roads. This has to be stopped.

    Speed kills. The forces think that they have the freedom of the road anywhere and anytime. The police should catch speed breakers whether politicians or forces.

    Even dropping children to school they fly. Keep tooting and flashing lights. When will this ever stop?

    Why do you say administrative duty? Are you shy to say they were returning after guarding President on his visit to north?
