kulbushan jadhav

In a late-night statement, Pakistan foreign ministry said: "Pursuant to the decision of the ICJ, Commander kulbushan jadhav has been informed of his rights under Article 36, Paragraph 1(b) of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations." It added that Pak as a "responsible state" will grant consular access according to its laws for which modalities are being worked out.

"The death sentence given to kulbushan jadhav shows yet again how Pakistan's military court system rides roughshod over international standards," Biraj Patnaik, South Asia director, Amnesty International, said.

India on Thursday said it is assessing all legal options in the case related to Indian national kulbushan jadhav, who is on death row in Pakistan and assured that it is committed to protecting the life of Indian nationals. Pakistan on Wednesday claimed that Jadhav, a former Indian Navy officer, has refused to initiate review petition of his sentence and conviction.

Pak lawyer Khawar Qureshi also advised mediapersons to "behave responsibly" and "give Pakistani officials the respect they deserve." The UK-based lawyer said that India has "wrongly claimed victory" after the Hague-based court "temporarily" stayed the execution of Jadhav.

The “confession” of kulbushan jadhav showing him linking the RAW to the unrest in Balochistan may not be aimed solely at cornering India but rather an attempt by certain elements in the Pakistani security establishment to target their own PM for pushing talks with India.

Indian officials were on Thursday granted second consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav by Pakistan, days after Islamabad claimed that he has refused to file an appeal in a court here against his conviction by a military court.

PM Nawaz Sharif found himself cornered during a joint parliament session on Wednesday. Questioning why five countries boycotted the Saarc summit which was to be held in Islamabad, opposition leader Khursheed Shah said Pakistan should have pre-empted the development.

Although Pakistani analysts were confident that the ICJ does not have jurisdiction to stay Jadhav's execution, the Dawn quoted unnamed observers as now saying that the jurisdiction argument was "weak" and "damaging".

Pakistan said on Thursday that it was considering a visa application of the mother of Kulbhushan Jadhav for a visit to meet her son who was sentenced to death by a military court. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said that she had written a "personal letter" to Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs asking for the visa approval.

Top US think-tanks have questioned the secrecy of trial and the US NSA visit here next weekend is expected to see some plain speak by India on its ties with Pakistan.

The ICJ instructed Pakistan to take all "necessary measures at its disposal" to ensure that Jadhav was not executed pending a final decision by it. Pakistan was in shock as it was confident that the ICJ will throw out the case on the grounds of jurisdiction.
