India rebukes OIC at UN over Kashmir comments and calls out Pakistan
India confronted the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation at the UN General Assembly, rejecting its remarks on Jammu and Kashmir and urging focus on Pakistan’s alleged occupation.
During a UN General Assembly session, India challenged the OIC’s statements concerning Jammu and Kashmir and New Delhi’s counter-terror actions in Pakistan. Indian officials demanded the group shift attention to what they describe as Pakistan’s illegal control of the region and reported rights abuses there. The exchange highlighted ongoing tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad over the disputed territory.
