The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that Pakistan has strongly rejected the ‘totally untenable and irresponsible statement’ by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on the unanimously adopted outcomes and resolutions of the 48th Session of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Council of Foreign Ministers (OIC-CFM) held in Islamabad from March 22-23.
As per details, The MoFA spokesperson said that “The OIC is the collective voice of the Muslim Ummah and the second largest international organization after the United Nations (UN) with 57 members and 6 observer states.” added that “The OIC has a long-standing principled position in support of the legitimate struggle of the Kashmiri people for their right to self-determination granted to them by the relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.”
The MoFA spokesperson, While refusing to implement the UNSC resolutions, India has for decades tried to suppress the voice of the Kashmiris through brutal and indiscriminate use of force and gross and systematic violations of human rights in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).
The statement also reads that, Besides, the ascendant BJP-RSS inspired “Hindutva” ideology has restricted the space for minorities, especially Muslims, whose persecution under state patronage has become a norm in today’s India.
It must be noted that during the 48th session in Islamabad, The OIC has accordingly condemned massive human rights abuses in IIOJ&K, and has once again firmly rejected India’s illegal and unilateral actions of 5 August 2019 and subsequent steps aimed at altering the demographic composition of the occupied territory, The OIC has also denounced the blatant and widespread discrimination, intolerance and violence against Muslims in India, and called upon India to ensure their rights including religious freedom.
The OIC has also inter alia expressed grave concern over the incident of March 9 2022, involving a supersonic missile launched into the territory of Pakistan from India, “Devoid of any logic or substance, the MEA statement reflects the frustration of a country that stands exposed and isolated.”
The statement further reads that “Instead of denying the historical facts and realities, attempting to mislead the international community through fictional claims over the disputed territory, and dismissing valid concerns as reflected in the OIC resolutions, India would be well-advised to pay heed, review its current behavior, and act responsibly to urgently address those concerns.”
