Pakistan blasts India over 'absurd remarks' against OIC.

Islamabad on Sunday categorically rejected New Delhi's 'ludicrous comments and fallacious claims,' criticising the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for denouncing illegal actions in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

Reacting to the comments made by the spokesperson of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the Foreign Office in a statement said, 'India's hubris in this regard is deplorable'.

The statement added that OIC is the largest multilateral forum of Islamic countries representing more than 1.7 billion Muslims and has always been vocal in support of the legitimate rights of the Kashmiri people, who have suffered unspeakably from India's over seven decades long illegal occupation and unabated oppression.

The OIC Secretariat, in a statement on August 5, reiterated its stance over India's illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, 2019 in IIOJK. The Indian foreign ministry spokesperson said on Friday the OIC's statement on IIOJK 'reeks of bigotry'.

'It is indeed astounding to see an unabashed practitioner of 'Hindutva' to accuse others of 'bigotry' or 'communal agenda.' Equally appalling is the audacity of an established serial violator of human rights and purveyor of state-terrorism, pointing accusing fingers towards others,' the FO communique said.
