India slammed the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for inviting the All Parties Hurriyat Conference chairman to its foreign ministerial meeting in Islamabad next week, saying India takes very serious view of such actions aimed at subverting the country's unity and violating its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said India does not expect the OIC to encourage actors and organisations engaged in terrorism and anti-India activities.

"It is highly unfortunate that the OIC continues to be guided by a single member's political agenda rather than focusing on important development activities," Bagchi said. India has repeatedly said in the past that OIC has allowed Pakistan to hijack its agenda.

Bagchi was replying to a question on reports about the OIC inviting the chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference to attend the meeting of the grouping's Council of Foreign Ministers on March 22 and 23 in Islamabad.

J&K Police along with security forces arrested a terrorist associate of proscribed terror outfits Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Baramulla along with arms and ammunition. Acting on specific information regarding the movement of anti-national elements in the Karhama Kunzer area of Baramulla, a joint cordon and search operation was launched by J&K Police and CRPF in the said area. The arrested person has been identified as Waseem Ahmed War.
