OIC Asks India to ‘Reverse article-370 abrogation, stop gross Human Rights abuses in Kashmir’

Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has asked India to take back its decision of removing J&K’s special status with the scrapping of article 370 and stop gross Human Rights violation.

The Contact group of OIC has delivered the statement in its meeting on the sidelines of the 76th U.N. General Assembly.

India has asked the OIC to refrain from allowing vested interests to exploit its platform for comments on internal affairs of the country.

“The OIC has no locus standi in matters relating to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India. It is reiterated that the OIC General Secretariat should refrain from allowing vested interests to exploit its platform for comments on internal affairs of India,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said in August.

A Joint Communique was issued after the meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the OIC Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir, which met under the Chairmanship of the Secretary General of the OIC, according to Pakistan’s Foreign Office (FO).

It said that the group demanded India to “reverse all illegal and unilateral measures taken on or after August 5, 2019, stop the gross, systematic and widespread human rights abuses” in Jammu and Kashmir.
