Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said one more year had passed but no progress had been made in bringing back displaced Kashmiri Pandits to the state.

"Another year passes with no further progress in bringing back the displaced Kashmiri Pandits. Words sound even more hollow," he said in a tweet.

"Much was expected of the current government where all others were accused of paying only lip service but nothing changed.

"All we can do is recommit ourselves to do what we can to keep the spirit of Kashmiriyat alive in the hope that Kashmir will be complete soon," Abdullah said in a series of tweets.
