(Bhagya Luxmi, Intern Journalist) Kulbhushan Jadhav, an Indian citizen imprisoned in a Pakistani jail, has got second counselor access. Indian officials have reached Pakistan’s foreign ministry to meet Jadhav. Kulbhushan Jadhav, an Indian citizen sentenced to death by the Pakistani military court on charges of espionage, is currently lodged in a Pakistani jail. Sources said that India would be provided with second consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav.
Kulbhushan was arrested by Pakistan on 3 March 2016. Pakistan said that they were infiltrating into Pakistan for espionage. Pakistan showed a video of Kulbhushan arrested in a joint press conference of the Pakistan Army and Information Minister. In which Kulbhushan had admitted that he is an agent of Raw. On this, India had said that in the video, former Naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav is being forcibly confessed and is being directed for wrongdoing. The Indian side clarified that Kulbhushan Jadhav is not related to RAW. Pakistan also admitted that they do not have enough evidence against Kulbhushan Jadhav.
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s foreign affairs adviser Sartaj Aziz had said that the documents the government has kept are not conclusive proofs. After this, Pakistan had retaliated by saying that it had enough evidence in this case. Pakistan had said that it would hand over those evidence to the United Nations. On the death penalty of Jadhav, the Indian government strongly opposed Pakistan and said that the natural principles of justice and laid down procedures were not followed by Pakistan in this case. India termed the death sentence given to Kulbhushan Jadhav as a planned murder.
