New Delhi, Nov. 3 (ANI): Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday said that the Jammu and Kashmir Government would provide full security to the village heads in the state, who have received fresh threats from Hizbul.
"As far as the state government if somebody has a threat perception, they do provide security. It is not a new thing in Jammu and Kashmir, or for that matter, elsewhere in the country. Security is always being provided on the basis of a threat perception," he said.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Balbir Punj urged the Government of India and the Government of Jammu and Kashmir to provide the necessary security to all the sarpanches who are being threatened by the Hizbul.
"All these extremist organisations in Kashmir, Hizbul is one of them; they are all motivated by extreme Islamic ideology. Since these sarpanches who too happen to be Muslims and they seem to have faith in the democratic system of India and therefore they are being targeted. The Government of India and the Government of Jammu and Kashmir must do everything tangible and provide the necessary security to all the sarpanches who are being threatened by the Hizbul," he said.
Village heads in Jammu and Kashmir have put the state government on a 24-hour-deadline to provide them with special security after Hizbul Mujahideen leader Syed Salah-ud-Din, based in Pakistan, issued a fresh threat against them.
The Hizbul Mujahideen leader, who issued a fresh threat against the sarpanches yesterday, allegedly said that village heads would be attacked if they didn't quit from their posts. (ANI)
