NEW DELHI — India on Monday firmly rejected references to Jammu and Kashmir in resolutions adopted by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), describing the statements as malicious, biased, and false.
The response followed the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers' meeting held over the weekend in Baghdad, according to reporting by NDTV — Top Stories. Officials in New Delhi took strong exception to the multilateral group's commentary on the region, maintaining that the organization has no standing to intervene in matters concerning the country's sovereign territory.
Response from the Ministry of External Affairs
In an official statement released on Monday, the Ministry of External Affairs said it categorically rejected the anti-India references contained in the documents approved during the two-day summit in the Iraqi capital. The ministry characterized the resolutions as part of a recurring pattern of unfounded narratives regarding Jammu and Kashmir.
Diplomatic officials noted that the assertions framed during the foreign ministers' gathering fail to reflect ground realities. India has consistently asserted that the entire union territory of Jammu and Kashmir remains an integral and inalienable part of the nation.
Diplomatic Pushback on Baghdad Summit
The ministerial meeting in Baghdad, which concluded on Sunday, featured standard agenda discussions among member states but drew immediate pushback from New Delhi over its regional resolutions. According to reporting by NDTV — Top Stories, Indian authorities reaffirmed their long-standing policy of dismissing such pronouncements by external blocs.
New Delhi has repeatedly advised the grouping to refrain from allowing its platform to be used for hostile propaganda against India, reiterating that internal matters remain strictly under domestic jurisdiction.
