* Ready to enter into serious and sustained dialogue with India for peaceful resolution of all outstanding disputes, especially Jammu and Kashmir

* Burhan Wani, a young leader murdered by Indian forces has emerged a new hero of Kashmiri 'Intifada'

*We demand an independent inquiry into the extra judicial killings in Kashmir. We demand an end to the curfew
