How the exam will ask it
ப்ரிலிம்ஸ்
- The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has its headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
- The OIC is often described as the second-largest intergovernmental organisation after the United Nations in terms of membership.
- India is not a member of the OIC; it has consistently rejected the body's references to Jammu and Kashmir as interference in its internal affairs.
- The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is the nodal ministry for articulating India's position on such resolutions.
மெயின்ஸ்
GS-II: India's neighbourhood and international organisations. Pakistan uses multilateral platforms like the OIC to internationalise Kashmir, while India holds it is an internal matter and bilateral issues are covered by the Simla Agreement. The implication is a need to sustain bilateral ties with OIC members, especially the Gulf states, while countering the narrative through diplomacy and consistent messaging.
