According to details, on Wednesday, the OIC Contact Group met in New York where it voiced support for the Kashmiris facing Indian aggression in the occupied valley and demanded that the Security Council act on its resolutions in support of the Kashmiris.
On the occasion, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif highlighted the Kashmir dispute and pointed out that more than 95,000 Kashmiris have lost their lives to Indian atrocities over the past 28 years.
The OIC Contact Group also called upon Myanmar to allow UN fact-finding mission to investigate brutalities against Rohingya Muslims and bring the perpetrators to justice.
