..."Later, Saudi Arabia and Iran also lodged complaints with India, and the Jeddha-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation said the remarks came in a “context of intensifying hatred and abuse toward Islam in India and systematic practices against Muslims.”
New Delhi has made no comment so far over the protests lodged by Arab nations, but the Foreign Ministry on Monday rejected the comments by the OIC as “unwarranted” and “narrow-minded.” On Sunday, India’s embassies in Qatar and Doha released a statement saying the views expressed against the Prophet Muhammad and Islam were not those of the Indian government and were made by “fringe elements.” Both statements said that strong action had already been taken against those who made the derogatory remarks."
