The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Monday expressed “deep concern” about India’s efforts to redress the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) electoral boundaries, to change the environment and the human rights abuses in Kashmiri. .
In a statement shared on Twitter, the OIC said the cross-cutting practice was in direct violation of UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and international law, including the 4th Geneva Convention.
“With regard to the long-standing position and constitution in the Jammu-Kashmir dispute and the relevant decisions of the Islamic Conference and the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers, the General Secretariat reunites with the people of Jammu and Kashmir in their quest for independence. ”Said the report.
The OIC also calls on the international community, especially the UNSC, to immediately address the “negative consequences of” cross-cutting “operations.
Earlier this month, New Delhi unveiled a new list of IOK registers, giving greater representation to Hindu Islamic communities and paving the way for new elections.
In 2019, the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi the government split the area into two territories as part of a plan to strengthen power in the region. The former territory included the Kashmir Valley for Islam, the Hindu-dominated Jammu region, and the isolated Buddhist community in Ladakh.
However, earlier this month, the Indian government said the closure commission had completed 90 IOK convention centers, outside Ladakh, with 43 Jammu seats and 47 Kashmir seats. Immediately, Jammu had 37 seats and the Kashmir valley had 46 seats.
The border reduction commission said it was difficult to accept competing claims from different parties, citing a report on the “extraordinary cultural landscape”.
The OIC report also comes days after the organisation’s Independent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC) issued a strong complaint about the demarcation process. The OIC has called the Indian initiative a violation of international human rights and fundamental freedoms.
