The Ministry of External Affairs called the statement issued by Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) ‘absurd’, stating that it ignored the facts of the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
The MEA Official Spokesperson’s response to media queries on the statement issued by OIC Group in New York : “The OIC statement, issued at the behest of Pakistan, is absurd in refusing to recognise the facts of the Pahalgam terrorist attack and its cross-border linkages. This is yet another attempt by Pakistan, a country that has long engaged in cross-border terrorism, to manipulate and misguide the OIC Group to issue a self-serving statement. We reject the OIC’s interference on matters that are internal to India.”

India slammed Pakistan for misusing the platform
Earlier, India slammed Pakistan for misusing the platform of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), during a special briefing held ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Saudi Arabia.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri was asked about Pakistan’s repeated misuse of the OIC, where Saudi Arabia is regarded as a leading voice.
Responding to the question, Misri said, “On Pakistan’s misuse of the OIC – it’s a habit of long standing, one that we have regularly spoken out against and also raised with our friends and partners in the OIC.”
Calling Pakistan’s actions “shenanigans,” Misri added, “There is a certain view about these shenanigans that Pakistan practices in the OIC on the part of our colleagues and friends amongst the members of other members of the OIC, but we will continue to share our views and bring to their attention what exactly we think of these attempts that Pakistan habitually makes.”
