Mufti further stressed that Kashmiri Pandits should not be confined to specific areas, but should be allowed to live freely anywhere in the valley, integrating with local Kashmiri community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are our brothers, and we want them to return with dignity and live together with us so that Kashmir becomes complete,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
