| Hizb threatens Jammu based political leaders | | 'Stay away from politics or ready to face consequences' | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Sept 13: A threat issued by the terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen to several Jammu based politicians asking them to shun public life otherwise be ready to face dire consequences, has sent shock waves in political circles of J&K.
The threatening note of the terror group Hizbul Mujahideen came in the form of a two-page letter written in Urdu language on its letter pad.
In its threat letter, the Hizb wrote that its campaign has started with the killing of Panchayat members but politicians are hampering our movement by their political activities.
"If you give up political activities, we will try to forgive you. We do not harm anyone without telling them, so we are warning you," the contents of the letter read.
"Support our cause for freedom otherwise death warrants have been issued against you. No security cover will safeguard you from us," the letter further read, adding "the work has already been started and those who can attack Parliament or Red Fort can kill you as well".
"In coming days, no Indian or politician supporting India will be left alive in Kashmir. Half of Jammu is already with us but there are some politicians who are an obstacle to our cause for freedom," the letter said.
The letter was delivered by post to senior vice president of J&K Pradesh Congress Committee and former minister Raman Bhalla at his party headquarters in Jammu, said officials.
"We have taken cognizance of the matter and registered a case under relevant sections of the law while further investigation is on," said SSP, Jammu Shridhar Patil.
Congress leader Bhalla, to whom the letter was addressed, said he approached police soon after the receipt of the letter as a thorough investigation is needed into the incident.
Bhalla said that he received the letter which was posted in his name on Saturday afternoon at the party headquarters, adding that as soon as it was received, the matter was communicated to the SSP Jammu and the local Pir Mitha police, he added.
Meanwhile, reacting to the threat, JKNPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh demanded a high-level probe and said it seems to be part of a conspiracy to cow down the opposition.
"I have raised security concerns many times after receiving threats from BJP leaders in the past but instead of taking action on my complaint, I was deprived of security cover by the administration," he said, adding he is only having one personal security officer despite being an MLA for three successive terms and a former minister while as an ordinary BJP worker is given 10 security guards with accommodation and vehicle for movement.
"The probe is necessary to unravel the truth behind the threat," he said.
It is in place to mention here that the terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen in its bid to intimidate political leaders has carried out a number of targeted political killings including those who have been elected as Panchs and Sarpanchs in Kashmir Valley in the last few months.
In its fresh attempt to create fear among politicians, the Hizbul Mujahideen has now issued a threat letter, signed by its self-styled Divisional Commander, naming as many as 17 senior politicians of various national and regional political parties including Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh, senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla, J&K BJP president Ravinder Raina, former Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh, National Conference provincial president Devender Singh Rana, Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan leader Choudhary Lal Singh, BJP leaders Sunil Sharma and Shakti Parihar viz a viz Panthers Party chairman Harsh Dev Singh besides several other former ministers, legislators and RSS functionaries. |
