India rejects references by OIC on Kashmir New Delhi, Jun 26 (PTI) India tonight rejected references made by the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) with regard to resolution of Kashmir issue, saying it had "no locus standi" to make comment on the state which is an integral part of India. The most corrupt and mediocre countries of the world today are the Islamic countries. NEW YORK: India has been ranked a lowly 74, two steps down since last year, among 180 countries of the world on the worldwide Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), prepared by independent international agency Transparency International. However, corruption is much higher in Pakistan which occupies 140th place, a little below Iran, Libya and Nepal which are ranked 133, 134 and 135 respectively. Meanwhile, China which was ranked a joint 72 with India in 2007, slided a step down to occupy a place above its neighbour this year. Among other Asian countries, Russia is placed still lower on 145, while Sri Lanka occupies the 96th position and Maldives is ranked 90. B'desh was beyond computation. Those who have free oil and free US support survive, rest can only sustain themselves thru terrorism & blackmail.
