India has hit back at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, OIC, for raking up the Kashmir issue at the UN, saying the grouping has no ‘locus standi’, the right or capacity, to comment on New Delhi’s internal affairs.

In a strong reaction to a statement made by Pakistan on behalf of the OIC at the UN, India advised the organisation to refrain from making such references in future. India’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva said, India notes with utmost regret that the OIC statement contains factually incorrect and misleading references to Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral and inseparable part of India.

Speaking on behalf of the OIC, Pakistan had criticized India on the Kashmir issue. The OIC is a 57-nation grouping which claims to be the collected voice of Muslims across the world.
