The All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC) has appealed the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) to help resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the Kashmiri aspirations. The APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar called upon the OIC member nations to come forward with open support to the Kashmiri liberation struggle.
He urged India to withdraw its troops from the occupied territory and give Kashmiri people an opportunity to decide their future by themselves. Earlier, the APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, while addressing the OIC Foreign Ministers Conference in New York, had said that the Kashmir dispute was the main cause of tension between Pakistan and India, which needed to be resolved without any further delay.
