India on Wednesday strongly rejected the comments by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressing concern over the Supreme Court's verdict upholding the 2019 revocation of Article 370 of the Constitution that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the OIC's action at the behest of a "serial violator of human rights and an unrepentant promoter of cross-border terrorism" makes it even more questionable.
Though Mr Bagchi did not name any country, it was clear that the reference was to Pakistan.
"India rejects the statement issued by the General Secretariat of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on a judgement of the Indian Supreme Court. It is both ill-informed and ill-intended," Bagchi said.
"That OIC does so at the behest of a serial violator of human rights and an unrepentant promoter of cross-border terrorism makes its action even more questionable. Such statements only undermine OIC's credibility," he said.
Mr Bagchi was responding to a media query.
On Tuesday, the General Secretariat of the OIC expressed concern over the Supreme Court verdict. In a statement, the General Secretariat also reaffirmed its solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Supreme Court had, on Monday, upheld the Centre's August 5, 2019, decision to abrogation Article 370.
