‘Watching your every move’: Another threat letter with details of Kashmiri Pandits emerges

A fresh threat letter targeting Kashmiri Pandit migrants has emerged, following a similar letter posted online earlier in the month. This is the first time in decades that such letters have included personal details of the migrants, such as their house numbers and street names. The letter, purportedly issued by a group called the United Liberation Council, names half a dozen Kashmiri Pandits working in Jammu and describes them as "white collar terrorists'’ and "traitors’’ working for their "masters" in Delhi.

The letter warns that "we are watching your every move" and lists the Kashmiri Pandits who are subject to the threat and those "trying to implement RSS agenda" in Kashmir. Officials are investigating the authenticity of the letter and trying to identify those responsible. The government has instructed departments under it to send Kashmiri Pandit employees on leave and advised them to remain alert and move to safer places.

The latest threats come amid momentum in government initiatives for the return and rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits.
