National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah has called for a thorough investigation into a purported threat letter to Kashmiri Pandit employees recruited under the Prime Minister’s package in Kashmir. The letter, attributed to the United Liberation Council, a reported Lashkar-e-Taiba affiliate, has raised doubts in Abdullah’s mind about its authenticity. Speaking to reporters in Srinagar, Abdullah asked why only these employees received threats when other Kashmiri Pandits and political leaders did not. He urged the Union home ministry to identify the culprits behind the social media threats. The former chief minister also criticised the Centre for failing to fulfil promises made to the community and opposed housing returning Pandits in transit camps.
