India criticised a visit by a delegation of the Orgarnisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIc) to Pakistan administered Kashmir and described it as “an interference in India’s internal matter.”
The delegation had visited the Line of Control on Wednesday where it was briefed by the Pakistani military officials, PTI reported.
The External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson, Arindam Bagchi, reiterated at a media briefing on Thursday that such visits to Pakistan administered Kashmir were an “interference to our internal matter.”
“The delegation comprising OIC Special Kashmir envoy Yousef Aldobeay, OIC Assistant Secretary-General Tariq Ali Bakheet and senior diplomats belonging to Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Sudan, and the Maldives, was taken to Chirikot Sector of the LoC, the army said in a statement here,” another PTI report says.
The delegation was briefed by the Pakistani military officials on the latest security situation along the LoC as well as the situation before and after Pak- India DGMOs understanding in February this year to ceasefire, it added.
In February, Pakistan and India agreed to strictly observe all agreements, understandings, and ceasefire along the Line of Control and address each other’s core issues and concerns which have propensity to disturb the peace and lead to violence.
The OIC delegation had arrived in Pakistan last Sunday for a week-long visit.
