Pakistan-based Hizbul Mujahideen has urged Pandits and other Hindus to return to their homes in Jammu and Kashmir.

The outfit promised 'protection' to them.

"They should return home and Allah willing the Mujahedeen (warriors) would provide them all possible protection," Hizbul chief Syed Salahuddin said at a meeting in Muzzaffarabad on Monday.
