India has rejected the proposal passed in the meeting of the foreign ministers of the member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Kashmir has also been mentioned in this proposal.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs said that India’s reference in the resolution passed in the OIC is factually incorrect, unreasonable and inappropriate.

There was a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers, or CFM, of the OIC on 27 and 28 November in the Niger capital of Niamey and Kashmir is also mentioned in the proposal that has been passed in this meeting.

There was a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers, or CFM, of the OIC on 27 and 28 November in the Niger capital of Niamey and Kashmir is also mentioned in the proposal that has been passed in this meeting.

Regarding the proposal passed in the CFM of OIC, India’s Foreign Ministry has said in its statement, “We are factually incorrect, inappropriate and unreasonably passed in the OIC’s 47th CFM in Niger’s capital Niamey, India. Let’s dismiss the reference. We have always said that the OIC has no right to speak on India’s internal affairs. Jammu and Kashmir is also an integral part of India and the OIC has no right to speak on it.

India has said in its statement, “It is regrettable that the OIC is allowing any one country to misuse its platform.” The country that the OIC is allowing to do so has a disgusting record of religious tolerance, extremism and injustice with minorities. That country is always putting in anti-India propaganda. We are seriously advising the OIC that they should avoid saying such a thing about India in future. ”

Kashmir has also been included in the proposal passed in the meeting of foreign ministers of the OIC member countries in Niamey.

However, Kashmir was not included in the OIC’s CFM agenda. It is being said that due to the stubbornness of Pakistan, it has been included only. It has been said in the resolution that the OIC’s stand on Kashmir dispute has always been that it should be resolved peacefully according to the resolution of the Security Council of the United Nations.

However, it is also being said that the mention of Kashmir in the OIC proposal is a ritual and it is not surprising for India. Despite heavy pressure from Pakistan, Kashmir was not included as a separate agenda in this meeting.
