“One Kashmiri Pandit employee said the threats would not force them to leave the Valley. “We will neither be scared nor run away this time. Kashmir is ours also. It is our birthplace,” the employee told ANI.The employee said a similar threat letter had surfaced earlier this month and urged authorities to investigate the source of the latest threats and how the alleged perpetrators obtained sensitive personal information.The forum, citing previous targeted attacks on Kashmiri Pandit employees, sought immediate security cover, a review of arrangements at workplaces and residences, and protection for employees whose personal details may have appeared in the alleged poster.
