The contact group was formed in 1994 to coordinate policy of OIC on Jammu and Kashmir. The meeting was also attended by the president of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). AJK President Masood Khan also briefed the members on the continued oppressive policies of the Indian security forces in the occupied valley that had alienated Kashmiri people. The contact group appreciated Prime Minister Imran’s offer for peace and dialogue to India to resolve all issues. It also expressed deep concern over the heightened tension and called for immediate de-escalation in the region.
