India objects to OIC resolution on Kashmir

NEW DELHI: India today made strong objections to the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) once again making an “incorrect and misleading” reference to the status of Kashmir.

The Kashmir issue finds mention in the resolutions adopted during the 41st Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from June 18 to 19.

“We note with regret that the Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has once again made factually incorrect and misleading references to matters internal to India, including the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India,” Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said here replying to a query from the media.

“We reject all such references/resolutions. The OIC has no locus standi on matters concerning the internal affairs of India,” he said. (AGENCIES)
