Lashkar threat to Thackeray, Goel

NEW DELHI, NOV. 24. The north India chief of Shiv Sena, Mr. Jai Bhagwan Goel, today claimed that the Lashkar-e-Taiba had threatened to kill him if he continues to criticise the ongoing jehad (holy war) by Kashmiri militants. The outfit had also asked the party chief, Mr. Bal Thackeray, to ``mend his ways'', he said.

Mr. Goel said he had received a letter from the outfit describing him as ``khuda ka dushman'' (God's enemy) and warned him that his factory in Delhi, two offices and the residence were under its surveillance.

Mr. Goel said the Lashkar threatened to eliminate him along with his family, if he did not change his ``anti-Islamic'' stance.
