The Central Government has rejected the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) statement against India on the issue of blasphemy against the Prophet.
The Ministry of External Affairs came out against the OIC Secretariat. India has criticized the OIC for being narrow-minded. Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have spoken to ambassadors there to clarify what happened. India has made it clear that this is not what India said, but what a political party leader said and that the party has taken action on it.
However, the Coalition of Islamic Countries (ICC) said in a statement that religious freedom in India had been violated and needed to be protected. India criticized this in strong language. The OIC is narrow-minded and the criticism is inappropriate. The Ministry of External Affairs points out that all religions and beliefs should be respected.
