PM-LD OIC

Srinagar, Oct 29 (PTI) Asserting that India will "not act
under anybody's pressure", Prime Minister Manmohan Sigh
Thursday ticked-off Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC)
for appointing a special envoy for Jammu and Kashmir.
He said the country has lodged a protest with the
grouping over its move.

"We regret that the OIC has got into this business. We
have lodged a protest with them on this account," Singh told
reporters here.
Making it clear that the country will "not act under
anybody's pressure", the Prime Minister said, "We are not
going to be induced to act under pressure of anybody."
During its meeting early this month, the OIC appointed a
special envoy for northern state of Jammu and Kashmir,
maintaining that it would help bridge the gap between India
and Pakistan and address the issue of minorities in India.
On relations with the neighbour, Singh said good ties
between India and Pakistan were in the interest of both the
countries.
The Prime Minister said it was in the interest of people
of Jammu and Kashmir as well as Pakistan that the "relations
between our two countries should be what they ought to be
between the two neighbours". PTI SJY
