Pakistan claimed Friday that it did not attempt to link the Kulabhushan Jadhav case with any other Indian prisoners. The Foreign Ministry’s claim comes a day after Indian Foreign Ministry (MEA) spokesperson Anurag Srivastava issued a statement.

Srivastava said on Thursday that Pakistan is trying to link the case of Kulabhushan Jadhav with another prisoner case. According to media reports in Pakistan, High Commissioner of India Shahnawaz Noon told the Islamabad High Court that Indian High Commissioner Gaurav Ahluwalia wants to clarify India’s stand on the appointment of pro-Jadhav lawyers. .

Kulabhushan Jadhav’s death sentence to be reviewed, Pakistan Parliamentary Committee approved bill

However, India has said that Noon is not authorized to speak on the issue and it seems that he has taken this step under pressure from Pakistan’s power plant. In April 2017, a Pakistani military court sentenced a 50-year-old retired Indian Navy officer, Kulbhushan Jadhav, to death on charges of goon behavior and terrorism.

India moved the International Court of Justice in 2017 to protest against Pakistan’s military court ruling and Jadhav’s refusal to make diplomatic links. In July 2019, the Hague-based international court ruled that Pakistan should effectively review and reconsider its decision to sentence and convict Jadhav. At the same time, the court lately ordered India to grant diplomatic access to Jadhav.
