India rejects OIC resolution on Jammu and Kashmir
The Indian Express·
India rejected an OIC resolution on Jammu and Kashmir after the bloc's foreign ministers met in Baghdad. The External Affairs Ministry said Monday the references to India were malicious, biased and false, and orchestrated by Pakistan. New Delhi said the OIC has no locus standi on India's internal matters. The MEA called Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh integral to India.
