Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and JKPDP President Mehbooba Mufti has sharply criticized the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), U.S. President Donald Trump, following the U.S.-Israel coordinated strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.The PDP leader has also expressed dismay over what she says India’s muted response to the developments of US strikes in Iran
“As expected, the OIC has once again limited its response to mere lip service in the face of a blatant attack on a sovereign Muslim nation. This passivity erodes the very foundation on which such an organization claims to stand." Mehbooba said in a strongly worded statement .Lashing out at U.S. President Donald Trump, she said, “A country that rushed to nominate Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize now finds itself humiliated, as he plunges the Middle East into chaos.”Calling the attack a “dangerous escalation,” she warned that the strikes risk pushing the region—and potentially the world—closer to global conflict.
Mufti also expressed deep disappointment over India’s position, accusing it of abandoning its historic non-aligned and principled role in global diplomacy.“Regrettably, India—a country that once stood for moral authority and dialogue—remains not just silent, but appears to be siding with the aggressor.”
Her remarks reflect growing regional concern over the shifting geopolitical landscape, especially in Muslim-majority regions, where voices are calling for restraint, diplomacy, and international accountability.The statement is likely to spark political debate at a time when tensions are rising in West Asia and diplomatic alignments are being closely watched.
Mehbooba's daughter Iltija Mufti has laso expressed disappointment over the silence of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on US attack of three nuclear sites in Iran on Sunday. She criticised the Centre’s silence on the Palestine issue, stating “Iran stands for the Palestinian people”.
“It’s very sad, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has been silent. But India has always taken a pro-Palestine stand. Iran also stands for the Palestinian people. America attacked Iran, and it’s highly unfortunate. But, the more saddening thing is that India is also not taking the stand that it should, after all, Iran stands for the Palestinian people,” she said
