New Delhi: India
Friday rejected a resolution by the newly-renamed Organisation of
Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Kashmir, stating that it has no
"locus standi" on internal affairs of the country.
"Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and the OIC has no
locus standi in matters concerning internal affairs of India,
which is the largest democracy and home to the second largest
Muslim population in the world," said external affairs ministry
spokesperson, Vishnu Prakash.
"We reject all such references/resolutions," he added.
A resolution on Kashmir was adopted during the meeting of foreign
ministers of the group of Muslim countries, previously known as
Organization of the Islamic Conference, in Kazakhstan which ended
June 30.
Expressing "concern at the alarming increase in the indiscriminate
use of force and gross violations of human rights committed
against the innocent Kashmiris", the resolution urged India to
allow the OIC Fact Finding Mission to visit Indian Kashmir.
