Leave Or Face Death: Lashkar-e-Islam threatens Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu & Kashmir
This comes only days after Rahul Bhat, a Kashmiri Pandit government employee, was gunned down by terrorists inside the Tehsil office in Chadoora town in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday
Terrorist group Lashkar-e-Islam on Sunday issued a threat to Kashmiri Pandits residing at the Hawal Transit accommodation in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, reported India Today.
“All migrants and RSS agents leave or face death. No space for Kashmiri Pandits who want another Israel in Kashmir to kill Kashmiri Muslims. Double/triple your security, be ready for targeted killing. You will die,” read the letter addressed to the president of the migrant colony.
This comes only days after Rahul Bhat, a Kashmiri Pandit government employee, was gunned down by terrorists inside the Tehsil office in Chadoora town in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday.
Following his death, people across the union territory have been protesting and demanding security in Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday informed the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) that the security forces have been given full freedom to avenge the killing of innocents in the Valley, sources told news agency ANI.
