India's foreign ministry rejects 'anti-India' references in OIC resolutions from the Baghdad meeting and says Pakistan orchestrated them
Hindustan Times, The Hindu, The Times of India and India TV reported that the MEA rejected anti-India references in resolutions adopted at the OIC foreign ministers' meeting in Baghdad. Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, as quoted, called the references 'malicious, biased and false' and said Pakistan orchestrated them. The statement said the OIC has no standing on India's internal affairs and that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are integral parts of India. It alleged repression and killings of civilian protesters in PoJK, and said the only remaining issues are Pakistan vacating areas it holds and ending support for cross-border terrorism. It rejected the Islamophobia references, as quoted in the reports.
India has long rejected any outside role on Kashmir, and the OIC is a forum where Pakistan can put the issue on the record each year. A public rebuttal sets India's position before the resolutions are cited elsewhere. The wording about Pakistan 'misusing' the OIC also targets the group's own credibility with members that India deals with closely on energy and trade.
If you follow foreign policy, treat the resolutions and the rebuttal as routine positions on both sides rather than a change in relations with OIC members such as the UAE, which India is hosting this week. Check the text of the resolutions before relying on any summary of them.
India's view, as quoted: the references are false, the OIC has no standing, and Pakistan uses the forum for a bigoted agenda while its own record on minorities and in PoJK is poor.
The reports carry no Pakistani or OIC response to the MEA statement. The OIC's own wording was not quoted in the reports, so the specific references India objects to are described only through India's rebuttal.
Confirmed are the MEA statement, the spokesperson's quoted wording and India's position on Jammu and Kashmir. Not confirmed are the exact text of the resolutions and any reply from Pakistan or the OIC. Watch the next few days for an OIC or Pakistani response.
