THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (SHRI VINOD KHANNA)
(a) Yes, Sir.
(b) The Summit (Putrajaya) Declaration did not contain references to any country / regional issues (including J&K). However the OIC Summit Communiqué, the Statement of the OIC Secretary General, Declaration of the OIC Contact Group on J&K and other routine OIC Resolutions contain references to J&K as in the past but with incremental changes.
(c) The OIC has no locus standi in matters concerning internal affairs. The Government of India therefore rejects all such resolutions and references outright.
