New Delhi:

India has slammed the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation or OIC for its assertion on Ram Navami violence, saying it’s “one more example of their communal mindset and anti-India agenda”.

“OIC only does its reputation damage by being consistently manipulated by anti-India forces,” mentioned overseas ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi, condemning its assertion alleging that the Muslim group was targetted in a number of states throughout Ram Navami celebrations.

The common secretariat of the OIC had issued an announcement expressing deep concern at “acts of violence and vandalism targeting (the) Muslim community in several states in India during the Ram Navami processions”.

As an instance, it cited the torching of a madrasa by a mob in Bihar Sharif on March 31 and accused the nation of “Islamophobia”.

Violence had damaged out in a number of states, together with Bengal, Bihar, Gujarat and Maharashtra throughout Ram Navami final week.  

New Delhi has additionally criticised OIC’s “unwarranted references” to Jammu and Kashmir.

OIC has “let Pakistan hijack and misuse its platform for carrying out its nefarious agenda of engaging in malicious propaganda against India,” mentioned Seema Pujani, the First Secretary of India’s Permanent Mission in Geneva on the Human Rights Council on March 31.

“The fact is that the entire territories of the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have been, are and shall always be part of India. Pakistan is in illegal occupation of Indian territory,” she mentioned.

A spokesperson of the overseas ministry has mentioned the OIC has misplaced its credibility by taking a blatantly communal, partisan and factually incorrect method to points.
