The Ministry of External Affairs on April 4 hit out at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), terming its comments on the recent violence during the Ram Navami processions in different parts of the country, as a reflection of its “communal mindset”. 

• “We strongly condemn the statement issued by OIC Secretariat today regarding India. This is one more example of their communal mindset and anti-India agenda. OIC only does its reputation damage by being consistently manipulated by anti-India forces,” MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said. 
• OIC had earlier expressed “deep concern” at the violence during the Ram Navami processions in Bihar, West Bengal and elsewhere in the country.
