Speaking at OIC headquarters in the Saudi Arabian port of Jeddah on Saturday, March 30, Prof. Ihsanoglu also addressed a message to Muslims in Myanmar, telling them the OIC \u201cwould champion their cause\u201d, and stressing that the Organisation and its member states will follow up the issue and stand ready to take all necessary measures to address it.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A meeting of the OIC\u2019s Contact group was called in response to the communal violence that erupted in central Myanmar following an otherwise innocuous incident at a gold shop in Meiktila on March 20.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThese acts of violence have killed scores of Muslims, burned their homes, and left hundreds of them homeless, in addition to the burning of mosques and schools,\u201d the IOC Secretary-General said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Times of India report said that the IOC will reconvene to discuss the issue of Myanmar on April 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With 57 member states, the IOC is the second largest inter-governmental organization in the world after the United Nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In October, the Myanmar government rejected plans by the OIC to open an office in Myanmar after Buddhist monks led protests against the bloc\u2019s involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n
