In an unprecedented and very bold move, Pakistan Foreign Minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi lashes out at OIC for lack of action on Kashmir issue and Indian government led atrocities against Muslims in Kashmir and India.
"Today, I am telling the OIC to convene the meeting of the council of foreign ministers. If they can not do it, then i will be compelled to ask the prime minister to call a meeting of Islamic countries that are ready to stand with us on the issue of Kashmir and support the oppressed Kashmiri Muslims," said Qureshi.
In his interview he also called upon Saudi Arabia to play step up as a leader of OIC and play its part. He said Pakistan and Pakistani people hold Saudi Arabia very dear and close to their hearts and every Pakistani is willing to lay down his life for Makkah and Madina, the holy cities for all muslm world.
“Today Pakistanis, who are always ready to sacrifice their lives for Mecca and Madina, need Saudi to play a leading role on the Kashmir issue. If they will not play their role, then i will ask Prime Minister Imran Khan to go ahead with or without Saudi Arabia," Qureshi warned.
Further highlighting the brotherly relations between the two countries, he said Pakistan withdrew from the Kuala Lumpur Summit last December on a request from Riyadh.
"I appreciate Mahathir Muhamad who even didn't complain and spoke a single word over our decision because he knew our real situation," he said
Khan, earlier this year, admitted he missed the summit because of a request by Riyadh and expressed sadness for missing the conference.
"Unfortunately our friends who are very close to Pakistan as well, felt that somehow the conference was going to divide the Ummah. It was clearly a misconception because that was not the purpose of the conference as evident from when the conference took place," Khan told a news conference in February during a visit to Kuala Lumpur.
