*Rejecting the recent ‘untenable statement’ of India on the Organization ofIslamic Cooperation (OIC) Resolution on Jammu and Kashmir dispute, Pakistanhas advised the neighbor to pay heed and stop its state-terrorism in IndianIllegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).*

On Monday, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs had strongly rejectedOIC’s criticism of its Kashmir policy, *Hindustan Times*reported. “It isregrettable that OIC continues to allow itself to be used by a certaincountry, which has an abominable record on religious tolerance, radicalismand persecution of minorities, to indulge in anti-India propaganda. Westrongly advise the OIC to refrain from making such references in future,”the external affairs ministry said in a statement.

Responding to the statement, the Foreign Office (FO) issued a pressrelease, the OIC is the collective voice of the Muslim Ummah and the secondlargest international organization after the United Nations with 57 membersand five observer states.

The latest OIC Resolution is another forceful repudiation of India’scompletely flimsy and legally untenable contention that Jammu and Kashmiris its ‘internal’ matter, the FO said, adding that the resolution isfurther proof that India can not hide its gross and systemic violations ofhuman rights of the Kashmiri people.

FO further said that rather than dismissing the international community’sconcerns as reflected in the OIC Resolution, India must take concrete stepstowards a solution of the dispute in accordance with the UN SecurityCouncil resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people.
