Oic in support of Pakistan: The two -day meeting of the Islamic Cooperation Organization (OIC) held in Istanbul, Turkey once again became a platform of Pakistan’s partisan diplomacy. The Council of Foreign Ministers of the 57 Muslim countries OIC’s Foreign Ministers (CFM) in its common statement said to continue the Indus Water Agreement (IWT) between Indo-Pak, on the other hand, on the other hand, made unilateral comments about India’s military action and Kashmir policy. OC in his shared statement made it clear that it fully supports Pakistan’s stand and expects maximum restraint from India.
OIC said about ‘not letting’ Indo-Pak Indus Treaty ‘break’
In the formal statement released after the meeting, OC bluntly said that both sides should strictly follow the Indus Water Treaty between India and Pakistan in 1960. The statement said, “This historic agreement should not be broken under any circumstances. Both sides should continue to follow it.” This comment has come at a time when India strictly strictly strictly strictly taken its stand on the Indus Treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack and indicated to stop Pakistan’s water. Pakistan had strongly objected to this and threatened like war. There has been a conflict between the two countries on this issue for three months.
OC accused India of military growth
OC’s CFM said in a statement, “We are deeply concerned about the growing military activities in South Asia. The military attacks carried out by India at many places in Pakistan can increase regional instability.” OC has urged both sides to avoid stimulating actions and exercise maximum restraint. This is clearly aimed at India, as Pakistan is a permanent member of OC and has been using it as a diplomatic weapon against India for a long time.
Kashmir also in the face of Pakistan
In this meeting of OC, another concern for India is that the organization also repeated Pakistan’s side completely on the Kashmir issue. The statement said, “We support the rights of self -determination of the people of Kashmir, in line with the proposals of the United Nations Security Council, the OC stance and the wishes of the Kashmiri people.”
This statement is against the policy of India in which Kashmir is considered an integral part of India and the mediation of a third party is rejected.
Important meetings in Türkiye, Pak Army chief was also with
This meeting of the Islamic Cooperation Organization was also discussed because Pakistan Army Chief General Aseem Munir also reached Türkiye along with Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Munir met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan there, which is being considered a strategic strategic move on the other side of the official agenda of the meeting. It is believed that this meeting also affected the language of the last statement of OC, in which a sharp stand was taken against India.
Growing diplomatic challenge for India
This latest trend of OIC is going to do diplomatically uncomfortable for India. On the one hand, India is presenting itself as a global leader and development partner on international forums, on the other hand, it is constantly facing opposition due to Pakistan’s partisan advocacy in organizations like OC. Old and stable agreements, such as the Indus Water Agreement, are also now being brought to the center of geopolitical confrontation, causing disturbance in South Asia.
