NEW DELHI — India has officially rejected statements made by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation regarding Jammu and Kashmir, asserting that the international grouping is being misused by Pakistan to advance its political agenda, according to reporting by Times of India — Top Stories.
External affairs officials in New Delhi responded firmly to the bloc's recent comments, raising serious questions about the credibility of the organization. India reiterated that the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir remains an integral and inalienable part of the country, dismissing any external interference or commentary on its internal affairs.
Concerns Over Platform Misuse
Indian authorities pointed out that Pakistan consistently leverages the multilateral forum to raise bilateral matters and push anti-India narratives. According to the dispatch, New Delhi highlighted that by permitting its platform to be utilized in this manner, the grouping severely compromises its standing and impartiality on international matters.
India has routinely maintained that regional issues between New Delhi and Islamabad are strictly bilateral matters under the Simla Agreement, leaving no room for third-party commentary or involvement by international bodies.
Rejection of External Statements
The Indian government has consistently dismissed previous resolutions and references by the bloc touching upon Jammu and Kashmir. Officials underscored that the grouping has no locus standi on matters pertaining to India's sovereignty and domestic jurisdiction.
By repeatedly entertaining Pakistani submissions, the organization continues to undermine its own institutional credibility while failing to respect India's territorial integrity, Indian officials indicated following the latest exchange.
