"At the same time, Kashmiri Pandits must be given proper threat-awareness, do's and don'ts, and basic tactical training. Wherever legally feasible, those facing credible threats should be considered for licensed small arms and trained in their safe and effective use. The ability to defend themselves can itself serve as a deterrent," he said. The J&K unit of the BJP has strongly condemned the latest threat letters reportedly targeting Kashmiri Pandit employees. Chetan Wanchoo, state executive member and state co-convener, department of trainings, BJP, has called for an immediate, high-level and time-bound investigation into the entire chain behind these threatening communications. Two back-to-back targeted attacks in July had set alarm bells ringing in the security establishment. On Sunday, a fresh letter, purportedly issued by the ULC, caused panic among the Pandit community. While HT independently can't vouch for the veracity of the fresh threats letter, its contents raised concern among those in the security establishment....
