The MEA stated that the OIC has no right to comment on India's internal matters, particularly Jammu and Kashmir, and demanded that Pakistan vacate illegally occupied areas.
The MEA emphasized the economic development in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370, contrasting it with the situation in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and criticized Pakistan's human rights record.
The MEA also criticized the OIC for its stance on Islamophobia and questioned its credibility, noting that its repeated endorsement of patently malicious propaganda and narratives peddled by Pakistan raises serious questions about its integrity.
