"Hurriyat Conference believes that an alternative path to work out the modalities of a resolution is through dialogue.
"It (Hurriyat) fervently appeals to the OIC to support this demand and urges the UN and the international community to prevail upon India to enable a genuine, unconditional and transparent dialogue with all stakeholders i.E. India, Pakistan and the people of Kashmir," he said in a letter to the OIC.
He reiterated that certain steps need to be taken for creating a conducive atmosphere for the dialogue over the Kashmir issue.
"Immediately stop killing, torture and arbitrary arrests of Kashmiri civilians and release all political prisoners. Remove arbitrary and draconian laws and conditions such as the Disturbed Areas act, Public Safety Act and others," he said.
"The use of firearms and pellet guns on unarmed protesters should be stopped. Start demilitarising all of Kashmir and revoke impunity laws such as the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA)," he said.
"Most importantly, recognise the right of Kashmiri people to determine their own political future," he added.
