India slams OIC for debating Kashmir
Sunday, October 04,2009
NEW DELHI: India on Saturday criticised the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) for taking up the Kashmir issue at its recent meeting in New York and its appointment of a special envoy for Indian-held Kashmir (IHK). “It is regrettable that the OIC has commented on India’s internal affairs. We condemn and reject this,” External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vishnu Prakaash said in a statement. He said the OIC had failed to understand that IHK was an integral part of India. “Inherent in OIC’s statements and actions on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir is a complete inability to understand India’s position. Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and it is our firm position that the OIC has no locus standi in matters concerning India’s internal affairs,” he added. Meanwhile, an OIC official said that appointment of the special envoy for Kashmir would help bridge the gap between India and Pakistan and address the issue of minorities in India. The OIC had appointed Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahman Al Bakr, a Saudi national as the special envoy, a move welcomed by separatists in IHK. iftikhar gilani
