OIC expresses concern over India's denial of Kashmiris' religious rights
[DAWN] The General Secretariat of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Wednesday expressed concern over the curtailment of religious freedoms of Moslems in Indian-occupied Kashmir.jpg) ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... , terming it a "serious violation of international human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... law". It denounced the "complete lockdown" imposed by Indian forces in Indian Kashmire even on the occasion of Eidul Azha, when Moslems in the region were prevented from participating in a religious congregation. "Denial of religious rights constitutes a serious violation of international human rights law and is an affront to Moslems across the world," a tweet by the OIC official account said.
