MEA rejects ‘malicious’ anti-India references in OIC meeting resolutions, slams Pakistan for 'bigoted' agenda

The Ministry of External Affairs on Monday categorically rejected the anti-India references in the resolutions of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers’ Meeting held in Baghdad on October 17-18, 2026. "The references to India are malicious, biased, and false, and have been orchestrated by Pakistan," said MEA in its statement.

The OIC’s repeated endorsement of patently malicious propaganda and narratives peddled by Pakistan raises serious questions about its credibility and integrity, MEA said in a strongly worded statement. "We hope its members would do better and reform this organization."

"We are disappointed that the OIC has once again allowed itself to be misused by Pakistan for its bigoted agenda."


As we have said in the past, the OIC has no locus standi whatsoever to comment on matters that are strictly internal to India, the ministry further said.

"The Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are integral and inalienable parts of India. Politically motivated propaganda can never alter this reality. Over the past years since the abrogation of Artice 370, Jammu & Kashmir has seen significant economic growth and benefits accruing directly to its people through infrastructure development, tourism and connectivity. This is in stark contrast to the situation in PoJK, where Pakistan has unleashed violence, repression and brutality on civilian protesters, killing scores of them, including women and children. No amount of media blackout has been able to hide these grave violations of human rights."

The only issues related to Jammu and Kashmir that remain to be addressed are Pakistan vacating from areas under its illegal and forcible occupation and ceasing its continued support to cross-border terrorism, the ministry stated.

"Other fabricated and hostile references against India in the OIC resolutions, including insinuations related to Islamophobia, are nothing but a desperate attempt by Pakistan to divert international attention from its own appalling record of minority persecution and sectarian violence, apart from governance failure and political instabilty."
