Jammu: Setting January 25 as deadline for Muslim women in Jammu and Kashmir to quit
government jobs, a pro-Pakistani militant outfit on January 20 threatened to kill
those who do not obey their orders, official sources said here.
The posters in the name of Harkat-ul-Jehadi-Islamia (HUJI) outfit, stuck on the main
walls of a mosque of Shahdara Sharief in the border district of Rajouri, asked women
to quit government jobs by January 25 or face death, the sources said.
The posters, which were immediately removed by the police, also directed all
families to get their daughters, who have reached the age of 15, married
immediately, they said.
All women, girls should take baths at home and stay all the times in their homes,
they said, and added, "Whenever they (women) move out they should be veiled."
"Those who do not obey these directions will face serious consequences, including
death," the HUJI posters said.
The HUJI outfit also reiterated the threat issued by the Lashker-e-Jabbar (LeJ),
which said women folks should journey along with their male counterpart.
The move has sent shivers down the spine of people, particularly Muslim women in the
border district, due to the deadline threat, the sources said.
"It is a move by the militant outfits to Talebanise the Kashmiriat and puri Sufi
culture of Jammu and Kashmir," they said.
The security agencies have been asked to remain alert in border districts in view of
the threat, they said.
