JAMMU/SRINAGAR — The United Liberation Council (ULC), a terrorist organization linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has issued its sixth threat letter in a single month targeting Kashmiri Pandit government employees who are working in the union territory under the Prime Minister's Rehabilitation Package. The escalation marks a sustained and intensifying campaign of intimidation against a community that has been returning to the Kashmir Valley over the past two decades.
According to sources, the latest threat letter obtained detailed personal information about the targeted employees, including their mobile numbers, residential addresses, and vehicle registration details. Such specificity suggests a coordinated intelligence-gathering operation by the group, raising concerns about the security apparatus and potential leaks within administrative or police channels.
The letter explicitly threatens to send the dead bodies of non-local Kashmiri Pandit employees to their homes, a form of psychological warfare aimed at forcing them to abandon their jobs and leave the valley. The reference to non-local workers indicates that the group is targeting not only those originally displaced from Kashmir but also individuals who have relocated there for employment opportunities.
This is the sixth such communication issued within approximately thirty days, a frequency that analysts say reflects an organized effort to disrupt the rehabilitation process and undermine the presence of Kashmiri Pandits in government service in the region. Past threat letters have targeted teachers, administrative staff, and other public servants drawn under the central government's rehabilitation framework.
In response, the All PM Package Employees Association, the principal representative body for Kashmiri Pandit government workers in the territory, has formally appealed to the Prime Minister and the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir for enhanced security measures and urgent governmental intervention. The association has requested protection for employees, stricter enforcement of existing security protocols, and a thorough investigation into how the terrorists managed to collect such granular personal data about their targets.
Security agencies in the region have acknowledged the threat but have not publicly disclosed specific protective steps being taken for individual employees. The incident has reignited debate over the adequacy of safety provisions for Kashmiri Pandits who continue to face persistent insecurity despite decades of rehabilitation efforts.
