In a strongly-worded assertion, India suggested the OIC to chorus from making such references in future and mentioned it’s regrettable that the grouping continues to enable itself to be utilized by a sure nation “which has an abominable record on religious tolerance, radicalism and persecution of minorities”, a transparent reference to Pakistan. The 47th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) of the OIC in its assembly on November 27-29 at Niamey in Niger had made a reference to India over its insurance policies on Jammu and Kashmir.
“We strongly and categorically reject the factually incorrect, gratuitous and unwarranted references to India in resolutions adopted by the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) at the 47th CFM Session in Niamey,” the MEA mentioned. “We have always maintained that OIC has no locus standi in matters strictly internal to India including that of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir which is an integral and inalienable part of India,” it mentioned.
The OIC is a grouping of Muslim majority nations. “It is regrettable that OIC continues to allow itself to be used by a certain country, which has an abominable record on religious tolerance, radicalism and persecution of minorities, to indulge in anti-India propaganda,” the MEA mentioned. It mentioned India strongly advises the OIC to chorus from making such references in future.
