In a major blow to Pakitan, India has rejected "the factually incorrect and unwarranted references" to J&K in a statement issued by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

 In response to the statement delivered by Pakistan, India rejected "the factually incorrect and unwarranted references" to India in the statement by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

Considering its own top leadership has in the past openly acknowledged creating terrorist groups and training them to fight in Afghanistan and the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan`s audacity, as a self-styled torchbearer for the human rights of the people of India, is appalling. It is well-documented that the largest number of internationally proscribed terrorists have been operating with impunity on Pakistani soil.

• India has dealt a big blow to Pakistan
• It has rejected 'unwarranted references' to J&K by Islamic Nations
• India also condemned Pak for its "malicious propaganda" during the UNHRC meet

• India slammed Pakistan "for once again abusing" the United Nations Human Rights Council platform for peddling its "malicious propaganda" and urged the Council to ask Islamabad to take credible steps to end its state-sponsored terrorism and dismantle the terrorist infrastructure in the territories under its control. Rejecting Pakistan`s statements, Pawan Kumar Badhe, First Secretary, Permanent Mission of India in Geneva, said "they don`t deserve our response".

"Its shameful history of committing genocide in what was then East Pakistan and what is now Bangladesh, over 50 years back, is well known and needs no reiteration." In its hard-hitting response, Badhe said Pakistan`s audacity, as a self-styled torchbearer for the human rights of the people of India, is appalling. He said the largest number of internationally proscribed terrorists have been operating with impunity on Pakistani soil."

• "Pakistan has thus been responsible for violating the most fundamental of human rights, the right to life, of their innocent victims and threatening peace and security not only in my country but the entire region. We urge the Council and its mechanisms to call upon Pakistan to take credible steps to end its state-sponsored terrorism and dismantle the terrorist infrastructure in the territories under its control," 
• "Murder by vigilantes on flimsy allegations of blasphemy, extrajudicial killings, rape, abduction, forced conversion to Islam, forced marriage of minor girls and attacks on places of worship are a sad reality for Pakistan`s Hazaras, Shias, Ahmadiyas, Hindus, Sikhs and Chris-tians minorities. Discriminatory laws, coupled with deliberate apathy of law enforcement agencies, have ensured a climate of religious bigotry in which victimisation of minorities continues unabated," Badhe said.
• "Extrajudicial abductions, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions and tortures have been used by Pakistan as tools of State Policy to target human rights defenders, political activists, students, and journalists and to crush dissent. People in regions such as Balochistan have suffered political and other repression and persecution for decades," he said.
• "Pakistan is thus well-advised to put its own house in order before pointing fingers at others. The Council would have benefitted had Pakistan addressed the deteriorating human rights situation within Pakistan in its statement," he added.
• Badhe said OIC has failed to prevent Pakistan from misusing its platforms."We reject the factually incorrect and unwarranted references to India in the statement by OIC. We regret that the OIC countries, with whom we share close ties, have failed in preventing Pakistan from misusing OIC platforms to push anti-India propaganda," he said.

• Earlier, in May 2022,  India Slammed the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation for “unwarranted comments” on delimitation in Jammu and Kashmir, India asked it to refrain from carrying out its "communal agenda" at the behest of one country.

• India hit out at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Monday for its “unwarranted comments” on the delimitation exercise in Jammu and Kashmir and asserted that the union territory is an integral and inalienable part of India.
• In a subtle jab at Pakistan, it also asked the 57-nation bloc to refrain from carrying out its "communal agenda" at the behest of one country.
• “We are dismayed that the OIC Secretariat has once again made unwarranted comments on the internal affairs of India. As in the past, the Government of India categorically rejects the assertions made by the OIC Secretariat on the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir which is an integral and inalienable part of India,” Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said in a statement.
• “OIC should refrain from carrying out its communal agenda vis-à-vis India at the behest of one country,” he added.
• WHAT IS DELIMITATION IN J&K
• Delimitation is the act of redrawing the boundaries of a constituency that votes for a Lok Sabha seat based on the change in its population over a period of time.
• The delimitation panel on Jammu and Kashmir, formed in March 2020, notified its final report redrawing the electoral map of the union territory on May 5.
• The three-member commission earmarked six additional assembly seats for the Jammu region and one for the Kashmir Valley and brought the areas of Rajouri and Poonch under the Anantnag parliamentary seat. The Jammu division will now have 43 assembly seats and the Kashmir division 47 in the 90-member house.
• Pakistan’s Parliament had adopted a resolution “rejecting” the delimitation exercise in Jammu and Kashmir by India. Its new foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had condemned the redrawing of the electoral boundaries in J&K as “illegal”.
