ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office (FO) announced that Pakistan will grant consular access to convicted Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav on Friday.

In his weekly press briefing, FO Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal announced that complying with the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) ruling, Pakistan will grant Jadhav consular access.

However, Islamabad said that New Delhi was yet to issue a response on the matter.

The ICJ, in its judgment last month, rejected a plea by India to annul death sentence awarded to Jadhav, who self-confessed to fomenting terrorism and engaging in espionage within Pakistan by a military court.

The judgment, delivered by ICJ President Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf, to a packed court at The Hague, however, allowed India consular access to the convicted spy.

Jadhav, also a serving commander of the Indian Navy, was convicted on April 10, 2017 for fanning terrorism in Balochistan and Karachi, almost a year after his arrested from Balochistan in March 2016.

Regarding US Special Representative for Peace in Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad’s visit to Islamabad, Faisal said Pakistan has been facilitating the peace process with the Taliban in good faith and as a shared responsibility of the international community to bring peace, prosperity and stability to Afghanistan and the entire region.

“Prime Minister Imran Khan is committed to the Afghan peace process,” he added.

The spokesperson said matters related to the visit of the Taliban are being finalised.

Responding to a question about progress on US President Donald Trump’s offer of mediation on the Kashmir issue, the FO spokesperson said Pakistan looks forward to efforts of the international community for resolution of the Kashmir dispute.

He added that the FO summoned the Indian High Commissioner on July 28 and 30 to lodge a strong protest over the ceasefire violations.

How can India be so shameless, unprofessional and incompetent....is this due to the caste system and lack of meritocracy in every institution of India.


-Jadhav, a serving commander of the Indian Navy- India could have picked a retired one knowing the consequences when arrested.

-A second confessional statement of Jadhav is released in which he admits to working with the banned Baloch Liberation Army and Baloch Republican Army to carry out subversive activities in Balochistan. He also seeks mercy from the army chief over his death sentence.

-A major Indian magazine, Frontline, in an article acknowledges that Jadhav may be a serving Indian Navy officer and that India is waging a covert war against Pakistan.

-Kulbhushan Jadhav, an alleged Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) agent operating under the cover name of Hossein Mubarak Patel, is arrested in a counter-intelligence operation in Balochistan's Mashkel area for his involvement in espionage and sabotage activities against Pakistan.

Lol!!! Seems as though saffron terror outfits has infiltrated Indian Army, Navy and Air force too...where in the world you see a serving Navy Commander designated as a RAW spy and a Lieutenant Colonel in Indian Army involved in Hindutva terrorism....supported by the RSS.

Clear manifestation that Indian forces are infested by Hindutva terror...no more in the fringe in the center and right into Army and Navy...just as in the govt.

BTW did India confessed to arrest of Col. Habib Zahir as a tit for tat....

P.S: Sadhvi Pragya is released and now a minister in the BJP govt....her terror credentials and killings of Muslims naturally elevate her to a top slot in RSS controlled BJP extremist govt. in India. So was Lt Col Purohit who was released, must be due to the pressure from Hindutva...just as Modi was absolved of the Gujarat massacre...

Yes. I read that. But they also said that they are awaiting for response from India.

 

[Mirza Jatt]

Why did Pakistan even deny consular access initially when it knew India will by hook or by crook force Pakistan to give the access.

 

[SIPRA]

We want pictures... videos would be even better!

Then, we would have to contact Maryam Tweetni, who now is the sole supplier of controversial videos.

 

[Aryan0395]

Yes. I read that. But they also said that they are awaiting for response from India.

Working out the modalities as to how Indian officials will be allowed, what time, physical contact allowed or not, presence of Pak authorities besides security personnel and all these things.

Why did Pakistan even deny consular access initially when it knew India will by hook or by crook force Pakistan to give the access.

For this very reason, that case was internationalized, India stands helpless in front of full media glare at the ICJ, threadbare arguments by Pakistan jurist Khawar Qureshi....

@Mangus Ortus Novem @RIWWIR hope you people have heard the great arguments by him...

I really feel pity on the preconception of guys like you that if someone from India is commenting, by default he is a Hindu, BJP/RSS supporter, Sanghi. What a stupid logic. LOL

On Topic, I was just mentioned an example for your suggestion of using a retired professional. And regarding India confessing, I bet the people who are really concerned would surely know much more than you and me, so does it really matter if someone acknowledge it or not, huh ????
