Jammu, 14 August (H.S.): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said those responsible for security in Jammu and Kashmir should not take the terror threats to Kashmiri Pandit workers in the Valley lightly.

We have been hearing time and again that militancy has ended (in J-K), that now no one (terrorist) is left. But then this threat (comes), so where is this threat from? And those who are responsible for security arrangements, they should not take these threats lightly, Abdullah told reporters here.

He called for action against those behind the reported threats, and called for full security arrangements for the Kashmiri Pandits working in the valley.

One or two years ago, targeted killings happened, particularly against the minority community. How many names should I take of those who were targeted? Even many employees were preparing to flee from here. They were kept in their camps after being almost arrested. Gates were locked.

So, this threat should not be taken lightly. Action should be taken against the people behind this. And full security arrangements should be kept for these people, he added.
