Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday announced that he has recently had a discussion with the Secretary-General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Hissein Brahim Taha regarding the persecution of Muslims in India.
Taking to Twitter, Bilawal wrote: “Spoke to OIC SG H.E. Hissein Brahim Taha on the totally unacceptable and condemnable remarks by Indian BJP officials towards the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Shared concerns on rising Islamophobia and persecution of Muslims in India and the need to address that through collective efforts.”
Last week, two senior officials of India’s ruling party BJP issued derogatory remarks against the Holy Prophet (PBUH), inviting severe condemnation and backlash from Muslims in India and abroad.
