Seán Neeson MLA said: “This threat is a despicable attempt to undermine democracy.
“Mr Kelly has a democratic mandate to represent the people in his constituency and those who issue a threat like this cannot be allowed to cause instability in the political institutions.
“Elements who seek to cause trouble in our society must see that the peace we have worked so hard for is strong, and that politicians from all sides will stand together to protect it. Any threat against any elected representative, police or army personnel or other public servants should be condemned by all.”
