There is not only opposition in India regarding the citizenship amendment law of Modi government but also international reactions are coming on it.

On Sunday, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), an organization of Islamic countries, has also issued a statement on this. In a statement issued by OIC Secretary General Yusuf bin Ahmed bin Abdul Rahman, he said that he is keeping an eye on the recent developments in India.

OIC has 60 Muslim majority countries. In its statement, the OIC has said, "We are closely watching the recent developments in India. Many things have happened that have affected minorities. We have concerns about citizenship rights and the Babri Masjid case. We reiterate again that the safety of Muslims and their holy place in India should be ensured.''

The OIC has stated that minorities should be protected without any discrimination according to the principles and obligations of the United Nations. The OIC said that if these principles and obligations were neglected, the security and stability of the entire region would be severely affected.

OIC is dominated by Saudi Arabia and its allies. The relevance of this organization among Islamic countries has also been questioned. The Kuala Lumpur Summit took place in Malaysia on 19–20 December and there is talk of giving a new platform to the voice of the Islamic world.

Saudi Arabia fears that no other Islamic organization will stand up parallel to the OIC and its dominance will be reduced. That is why Saudi Arabia and its allies United Arab Emirates and Bahrain did not attend this meeting.

Pakistan was also supposed to go to the Kuala Lumpur Summit but Saudi Arabia stopped it. This is when the Kuala Lumpur summit was decided between Turkish President Ardoan, Pakistani PM Imran and Malaysia's PM Mahatir Mohammad. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had also accepted the invitation of the PM of Malaysia to attend the summit but he did not go under Saudi pressure.

Turkish President Rechep Tayyip Ardoan arrived at the summit and said that Pakistani PM Imran Khan could not come to Malaysia under pressure from Saudi Arabia.

Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah published the statement of President Rechep Tayyip Ardoan in which he said, "Saudi Arabia threatened Pakistan with economic sanctions, so Imran Khan did not come to Malaysia."

Many analysts say that Saudi Arabia is afraid that no other organization can stand parallel to the OIC.

All the Saudi's rivals attended this summit. Iran, Qatar and Turkey attended the summit and the relations of the three countries are not good with Saudi Arabia. Pakistan has a good relationship with Saudi but Malaysia openly supported Pakistan on Kashmir issue. Saudi Arabia remains silent on the issue of Kashmir.

According to Saudi Arabia's news agency SPA, King Salman of Saudi telephoned Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohammad and said that problems related to the Islamic world should be discussed on the platform of the OIC.

According to the Daily Sabah, President Ardoan told Turkish local media that this was not the first time Saudi had pressured a country to do no work.

When Ardoan did not come to Pakistan, he said, "Unfortunately we see that Saudi pressurized Pakistan. More than 2.5 million Pakistanis work in Saudi. If Pakistan did not agree, then the Pakistanis working there would have been sent back and this work would have been given to the people of Bangladesh. Simultaneously, the Saudi imperial regime threatened to withdraw financial aid.''

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has also tweeted that citizenship law is against Muslims. He has also said that due to the increasing protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act in India, the Indian Army can carry out an operation against Pakistan.

The Pakistani Prime Minister has said that India wants to incite war frenzy to mobilize such Hindu nationalism. Imran Khan said that if this happens then Pakistan will have no option but to give a befitting reply.

The Pakistani PM has tweeted and said, "India has still kept everyone imprisoned in Jammu and Kashmir." If restrictions are removed from here, there is a possibility of murder. If such protests increase in India, India's risk on Pakistan will increase further. The statement of the Indian Army Chief further reassures our concerns.''

In his next tweet, Imran Khan has said, "For the last five years, under the leadership of Modi government, India has been growing towards Hindu Rashtra. In this process Hindu superiority and fascist ideology is being pushed forward. Now they are on the Indian road against the citizenship amendment law that wants India's diversity to remain. Protests against the CAA have become a mass movement.''
