The Indian minister has been invited as a "guest of honour" at the inaugural session of the foreign ministers' conclave in Abu Dhabi next month.

According to reports, Qureshi said, "I have no reservations with OIC or any other Islamic country. My reservations are with Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj 's attendance at the OIC meeting."

"If Swaraj attends the meeting then I will not participate in it," the foreign minister asserted.

Qureshi shared that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu telephoned him.

"The Turkish foreign minister telephoned me himself and sought to be briefed on the current situation."

"Cavusoglu clarified that Turkey is fully standing behind Pakistani people and government," he added. "The Turkish foreign minister said the prayers and cooperation of Turks are with their Pakistani brothers and sisters."

"We believe India has committed aggression against a brother Islamic country and attacked a founding member of the OIC," Qureshi quoted Cavusoglu as saying.

"The Turkish foreign minister said there is no reason for Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj to attend the meeting of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) and Turkey will fully oppose her invitation and opportunity to address," he added.

Further, Qureshi said he wrote a second letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres last night.

Moreover, the foreign minister said, “I have spoken to the United Arab Emirates foreign minister and have expressed my reservations over her invitation. I have made myself clear that India has shown aggression.”

“Under the current circumstances, it will not be possible for me to attend OIC meeting where Swaraj is present,” he said.

Qureshi further said he spoke on call to United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and apprised his US counterpart over the blatant Line of Control (LoC) violation by the Indian security forces, and the stance of Pakistani government, parliament and masses' reaction over the concerning development.

Leaders from opposition parties demanded that Pakistan boycott the OIC meeting. The demand of the opposition parties came following Indian aircraft violating Pakistani airspace across the LoC and being repelled due to the timely response of Pakistan Air Force.

"Indian aircraft intrusion across LoC in Muzafarabad Sector within AJK was 3-4 miles. Under forced hasty withdrawal aircraft released payload which had free fall in open area. No infrastructure got hit, no casualties. Technical details and other important information to follow," director general of the Inter-Services Public Relations wrote on Twitter.

Kindly correct head line, if india attends. What india is doing in OIC? This is India who used to make fun of OIC, it is India who used to say that OIC is useless, and now it is India who was invited by OIC, may I ask from OIC is there any shame left or you would further down grade this organization by inviting india?

 

[American Pakistani]

Indian terrorism in IOK Indian Occupied Kashmir against innocent Kashmiri Muslims is evident from the facts that India is massacring these populations for last 3 decades and now want hindutva terrorists to settle in IOK. OIC inviting these terrorists is cannot be accepted. Pakistan should stay in touch with countries like Turkeye, Azerbaijan, KSA, etc to humiliate these terrorists and to deny them this platform.

 

[xyxmt]

best decision
also insist on removing the country which invited India

 

[graphican]

Diplomatic onslaught from Pakistan is about to start.

India must face consequences of playing dirty. If India attends, Arabs will offend a close ally. At the time of need, do they think Hindu Soldiers (who couldn't' defend against Pakistan) will come to rescue Muslim Nations?

I corrected the thread title. But that is what the article title is. It mentions Sushma Swaraj.

I think Pakistan should tell other key OIC members to walk out if India is entertained in OIC.

Time to assert ourselves good job

Time to assert ourselves good job

Whoever invited India to be guest of OIC was an idiot.

India has a huge problem with a key OIC member.

This just made emotional THANK YOU bro's!

"If Swaraj attends the meeting then I will not participate in it," the foreign minister asserted.

Nice, simple and straight very good decision by Pak gov. I hope other Islamic countries will stand with us.

 

[Mamadouso]

When Sikhs are more supportive of Pakistan and wanting to calm situation down compared to the silent Arabs. Its time Pakistan realised there is no Muslim govt (the general population maybe more supportive) that will step in.

Time to reorganise alliances after this episode I would say.

 

[Maxpane]

very good decision

 

[I.R.A]

OIC is for protection of interests of its member states and not for taking care of your investment based relations. Pakistan is one of the founding members of OIC ...... others specially the ones with huge investment interests in india should know this.

Thanks, Let us see how many Islamic country will stand with truth (Pakistan), this decision of Islamic countries will decided their faith & future.

 

[khansaheeb]

It's a very insensitive and astonishing decision by the OIC, it would be interesting to know which country or representative made the offer.

 

[Amalek]

Diplomatic onslaught from Pakistan is about to start.

India must face consequences of playing dirty. If India attends, Arabs will offend a close ally. At the time of need, to they think Hindu Soldiers (who couldn't' defend against Pakistan) will come to rescue Muslim Nations?

Which Arab country have you rescued till date? You think the Arabs can't fight? You have forgotten history.

OIC is Organization for Islamic Cooperation. India has a population of 200 million Muslims, and so has been invited as a guest to this conference

If Pakistan wants to boycott OIC, it would be fine. You need large investments from the Arabs for many years to come to get your economy out of the hole.
