The Story in Brief
National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah on Thursday demanded a thorough investigation into a threat letter purportedly issued to Kashmiri Pandit employees by the United Liberation Council, a group reported to be an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Speaking to reporters in Srinagar, he expressed surprise at the targeted threats and urged the Union home ministry to identify those behind the social media messages. “Something is fishy and it should be investigated,” he said, casting doubt on the authenticity of the warning.
The Indian Opinion
A pattern is forming: every threat to Kashmiri Pandits is either dismissed as a conspiracy or used to whip up fear. Farooq Abdullah’s call for a probe is sensible, but his instant suspicion feeds the narrative that security concerns are manufactured. The letter’s origin matters. Will the home ministry’s investigation show who wrote it, and why? That single fact will settle whether this is a real danger or a dirty trick.
