Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a terror outfit operating under its proxy name The Resistance Front (TRF), has issued a death threat against noted counter-terrorism expert Junaid Qureshi, the Director of the European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS).
The threat was delivered via an end-to-end encrypted messaging platform using the TRF banner, ABP News reported.
The message branded Qureshi a “traitor” and said the group would have “no hesitation” in assassinating him. This marks the second such threat in the past six months against individuals who have publicly exposed Pakistan’s proxy war in Kashmir.
Speaking to ABP News, Junaid Qureshi alleged that Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, orchestrated the threat, which was executed through Lashkar-e-Taiba and its commander, Sheikh Sajjad Gul.
Qureshi said the threat letter contained references to sensitive details about a proposed Kashmiri intellectual think tank that were not publicly known and known only to a limited circle, indicating involvement of intelligence agencies. He added that the message explicitly referred to his efforts to dismantle Pakistan’s propaganda on Kashmir and present factual evidence at global forums—an agenda he said Pakistan’s security establishment perceives as a direct threat.(Agencies)
