The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which represents 57 member states that has Muslims as its majority population totalling about 180 crore people, has criticised Indian Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the Indian Supreme Court judgment on Ayodhya land dispute case, reports The Hindu.

In a statement, the general secretariat of the Saudi based OIC, said, “It was closely following recent developments affecting Muslim minority in India.” OIC is also the world’s second-largest intergovernmental organisation after the United Nations.

The statement invoked the UN charter against discrimination and said, “The OIC reiterates its call to ensure the safety of the Muslim minority and the protection of Islamic holy places in India.”

“In this regard, any action, contrary to these principles and obligations, may lead to further tensions and may have serious implications on peace and security across the region,” it read.

“The General Secretariat of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (#OIC) has been following recent developments affecting Muslim minority in #India. It expresses its concern over the recent developments pertaining to both the issue of citizenship rights & the #BabriMasjid case (sic)“ OIC said in a tweet.
