India has rejected a resolution passed by the Organisation of Islamic Countries(OIC) calling for right of self-determination for people of Jammu and Kashmir and expressing concern over human right situation in the state.
The Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson said here that OIC had no locus standi to talk about Kashmir which is India’s internal matter.
“India notes with utmost regret that the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC), during its 44th Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers held in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire on 10-11 July 2017, has again adopted certain resolutions which contain 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, ” the MEA said. “India out rightly rejects all such references.
The OIC has no locus standi on India’s internal affairs. We strongly advise the OIC to refrain from making such references in future,” he said.
