Lashkar‑e‑Taiba has issued a fresh ultimatum demanding that around 7,000 Kashmiri Pandits quit their jobs, warning of death for non‑compliance.
Lashkar‑e‑Taiba (LeT) has reportedly issued a new threat targeting the Kashmiri Pandit community, demanding that approximately 7,000 members abandon their current employment. The militant group warned that failure to comply could result in lethal action against the individuals concerned.
The announcement has sent shockwaves through the community, with many Pandits expressing heightened anxiety about their personal safety and livelihood. Residents say they are now forced to weigh the risk of losing their jobs against the fear of violent retaliation.
Security agencies in the region have taken note of the threat, indicating that the situation is being closely monitored as authorities assess the potential for escalation.
