LeT threat to Azad |
2008-01-17 |
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Gulam Nabi Azad's security has been beefed up after fresh intelligence inputs of threat from militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba. The National Security Advisor is believed to have told Azad that Lashkar-e-taiba (LeT) is targeting his life. Azad's security has been tightened ever since and is literally under a bullet proof cover. To prevent a security breach, a review of people whom Azad meet, his security personnel and office staff has already began. The Inspector General of Security, Ashok Gupta said,” Avoiding unscheduled visits or not following any daily pattern is advisable.” Many politicians from the state have received threats from militant organizations, but politicians seemed to be unperturbed by such threats. The president of National Conference, Omar Abdullah said, “No militant attack will harm us till the security cover of God is there for us.” However, in an election year, the state government is taking no chance with the security of their top leader. |
