ISLAMABAD, March 2: India has failed to avail the legal remedies provided by Pakistan for its spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was arrested in Balochistan six years ago on charges of carrying out subversive activities on Pakistani soil.
India’s continuous refusal to file a review petition in line with the directive of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) speaks volumes about its denial of the ground reality, when the serving navy commanderwas caught red-handed on March 3, 2016, in Balochistan.
In the case of Commander Jadhav, Pakistan’s parliament had adopted legislation namely ICJ’s Review and Re-consideration Act, 2020 that provided for the right of review and reconsideration in giving effect to the judgment of the ICJ
The passage of the Bill, according to the Foreign Office, reaffirmed that “Pakistan continues to take its obligation with regard to the ICJ judgment very seriously”.
As Pakistan repeatedly reminded India of its obligation to arrange legal representation of Commander Jadhav under paragraph 118 of the ICJ judgment, the response from the Indian side is a clear manifestation that India is shying away from the solid proof of its sabotage activities against Pakistan.
Commander Jadhav, an Indian spy, and RAW operative was found facilitating numerous acts of terrorism in Pakistan, which resulted in the killings of countless innocent citizens of Pakistan.
Kulbhushan Jadhav, alias Hussain Mubarek Patel, was arrested on March 3, 2016, from Mashkel, Balochistan while traveling to Pakistan on an Iranian passport. – PR
