'Motivated and Misleading': India hits out at OIC for commenting on dress code row
New Delhi, Feb 15: India on Tuesday described the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) remarks on the ongoing hijab controversy in Karnataka as ‘motivated and misleading,' and said issues are resolved in the country in accordance with its constitutional framework as well as democratic ethos.
External affairs ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said that the OIC continues to be "hijacked" by vested interests to further their nefarious propaganda against India.
"Issues in India are considered and resolved in accordance with our constitutional framework and mechanisms, as well as democratic ethos and polity," Bagchi said.
"The communal mindset of the OIC Secretariat does not allow for a proper appreciation of these realities. OIC continues to be hijacked by vested interests to further their nefarious propaganda against India," he added
"As a result, it has only harmed its own reputation," he said.
The spokesperson was replying to a query on the matter.
In the wake of the dress code row in certain schools in Karnataka, the OIC general secretariat asked India to ensure the safety, security and wellbeing of the Muslim community while protecting the way of life of its members.
The #OIC General Secretariat calls upon the international community, especially the #UN mechanisms and Special Procedures of the #HumanRights Council, to take necessary measures in this regard.
