India takes exception to OIC comments on J&K 4/15/2016 11:38:27 PM Agencies NeW DELHI, Apr 15: Reacting strongly, India today termed as "factually incorrect and misleading" the references to Kashmir made by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) during its 13th Summit in Turkey and asked it to refrain from making such statements. India also questioned the locus standi of the OIC, which in its communique affirmed "its support to the people of the Jammu & Kashmir for their right to self-determination", to make such references. External affairs ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, "We note with utmost regret that the final communique adopted at the conclusion of the 13th Islamic Summit of the Heads of State/Government of the OIC Member States held at Istanbul, Turkey on 14-15 April includes factually incorrect and misleading references pertaining to the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India. "We completely reject all such references regarding matters internal to India, on which the OIC has no locus standi. We further advise the OIC to refrain from making such references in future." The OIC members also reaffirmed its principled support for the people of Jammu and Kashmir for the realisation of their legitimate right to self-determination, in accordance with relevant UN resolutions and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and said that freedom struggle must not be equated with terrorism.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
