India slams OIC for ‘wilful blindness’ on terror at UN

India has accused the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) of 'wilful blindness' and failing to distinguish between a victim and a perpetrator, after the OIC referred to India's actions against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. BJP MP Biplab Kumar Deb, speaking at the UN General Assembly's Sixth Committee on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, said the OIC chair, Saudi Arabia, had delivered a statement unable to separate fact from fiction.

Deb asserted India's right to defend its people against cross-border terrorism from Pakistan and warned of consequences. He urged the OIC to focus on Pakistan's 'illegal occupation' in Rawalakot, where human rights groups say over 90 people have been killed in recent months. The OIC statement did not name India but referred to 'unjustified strikes' in Pakistan and the situation in Kashmir.

Deb cited the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 civilians were killed, as evidence of terrorism with state patronage from across India's western border. He said terrorism is one of the gravest threats to international peace and security.
