The meeting between a senior Indian diplomat and convicted India spy Kulbhushan Jadhav is currently underway after Pakistan formally granted the consular access to the convicted spy in line with the decision of International Court of Justice

However, sources refused to share further details including the venue of meeting because of the sensitivity attached to the matter.

A senior Indian government official earlier on Monday confirmed New Delhi’s acceptance of Islamabad’s offer and told AFP that New Delhi hoped “Pakistan will ensure right atmosphere so that the meeting is free, fair, meaningful and effective in keeping with the letter and spirit of the ICJ orders”.


According to The Hindu, Charge d’Affaires at the Indian High Commission in Islamabad Gaurav Ahluwalia will meet Jadhav. “We hope that Pakistan will ensure the right atmosphere so that the meeting is free, fair, meaningful and effective in keeping with the letter and spirit of the ICJ orders,” a source told The Hindu.

On Sunday, Pakistan said it would grant consular access to Jhadav, weeks after the International Court of Justice urged Pakistan to undertake “effective review” of the case, adding that a “continued stay of execution” was needed for that to happen.

“Consular access for Indian spy Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Indian naval officer and RAW operative, is being provided on Monday 2 September 2019,” Foreign Office Spokesperson Mohammad Faisal said in a tweet late Sunday.

Pakistan grants consular access to Jadhav

The former Indian naval officer was arrested on March 2016 in Pakistan’s restive southwestern province of Balochistan – a region where Islamabad has long accused New Delhi of backing separatist rebels. He was convicted of planning espionage and sabotage and sentenced to death by a military

India claimed Jadhav retired from the navy in 2001 and was running a “logistics” business in the Iranian port of Chabahar. New Delhi insists he was taken captive in Iran before being moved to Pakistan and then forced to confess. India then approached the UN court to intervene saying his trial had been unfair and Pakistan had denied him diplomatic assistance.

Pakistan maintained that that a treaty between the neighbors did not oblige it to allow diplomatic assistance for those suspected of being spies or terrorists. The ICJ decision was a favourable outcome for Pakistan as the court did not order the acquittal and release of Jadhav.

Indo-Pak ties

Tensions have soared between the arch-rivals in recent weeks following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s move last month to revoke the autonomy of the Indian-occupied Kashmir.

In response, Prime Minister Imran Khan has launched a diplomatic offensive against India and led mass protests lambasting Modi.

I am SHOCKED that the article refers to Kulbhusan Jadhav as a "SPY" and not a terrorist.

I am sure this is a mistake and should be corrected by the Pakistani govt. directives at the earliest.

So now he is a "Spy" who dealt with terrorist ? or was actively involved in terrorism ? If he was actively involved in terrorism he is a terrorist and NOT a Spy.

But if he dealt with terrorists, then he is just another spy who deals with all kinds of shady characters. From prostitutes to terrorists to smugglers.

There is a world of difference between the two.

Spy!!! word is open to interpretations..all kind.

You missed another litany of truth in DAWN report here and elsewhere.

"Consular access for Indian spy Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Indian naval officer, and RAW operative is being provided on Monday,...so it all adds up here.

-A spy.
-A spy who is a terrorist.
-A spy commnader.
-A serving Indian naval officer.
-RAW operative.

India did it right...making the most of one guy...one given post too many.

everything is clear and discussed at ICJ, where a verdict was given. you keep trolling as much as you can.
what to wait for is India shouts with what they have already prepared as their toe line after this meeting.
so wait for it for further troll.

I am confused.

Are all terrorists "Spies" ? or are all spies terrorists ?

Also how ca he be both an Serving Indian Naval officer AND a RAW Operative ? He can only serve in ONE organization at a time as per government rules.

So either he was an IN officer or he was RAW operative. Which one was he ?

Please understand my plight. He was declared a terrorist by pakistan and now I am disappointed they are revising his status to that of a "spy".

Can anyone explain the divine wisdom of letting this gangoo meet another poop-ridden gangoo at this critical juncture? I am at a loss here...

You will be not confused anymore now.

Ask GoI because at first, he was not even KJ but a Patel and businessman in Iran. His passport wasn't fake but in-fact, he had only one with the name of Patel but later, there was another by name of KJ. So you aren't confuse alone even the whole GoI is confused and been jumping around from one claim to another therefore, totally failed to prove him otherwise in ICJ except for consular access.

This is just an international obligation which we fulfilled as part of the ICJ verdict. So I don't see any problem in following the verdict.

The real question you should be asking is why NS agreed to go to ICJ and accept its role in KBY's case while it was not obligatory for Pakistan at that time and we could stay away from it.

Furthermore, it won't change an iota. It is just a meeting and I know the kind of safeguards Pakistan employs are more than sufficient to nullify any instruments of sabotage.

 

[PakSword]

Now wait for the Indian diplomat to cry like a baby that Kullu Bhos has told him he was kidnapped from Iran and Pakistanis beat the crap out of him and that all his statements were taken under duress..

If he is meeting alone, I don't agree with our government's decision..
