Mattoo, who is only Kashmiri Pandit in the PDP-led coalition government, told reporters that Kashmir was "incomplete" without pandits and their return would strengthen the bonds of Kashmiriyat. "As a minister of this coalition government, I will soon start efforts for formulation of rehabilitation plan for early return of pandits to valley, which awaits them,” he said.
