The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Tuesday expressed grave worry over the recent construction and inauguration of the Ram Temple at the site of the previously demolished Babri Mosque in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya.
“In line with the OIC position expressed by the Council of Foreign Ministers in its previous sessions, the General Secretariat denounces these actions aimed at obliterating the Islamic landmarks represented by the Babri Mosque, which has stood tall in the exact location for five centuries,” the brief statement from the group reads.
OIC has a membership of 57 states spread over four continents.
Muslims and critics of Modi’s Hindu nationalist regime have vehemently opposed the inauguration of the Hindu Temple on the site of Babri mosque demolished in 1992.
