Sir,
It is highly condemned that Pakistan army has awarded death sentence to former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav for allegedly spying and stoking violence in Balochistan without a fair trail.
Even after requesting Pakistan for consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav a number of times, Pakistan never allowed the same. Conducting trail without giving the accused a chance to defend itself by arranging a lawyer of his own choice, it amounts to cold blood murder, if carried out. Indian spokesman has rightly said, “If this sentence awarded without observing basic norms of law and justice, is carried out, India will regard it as premeditated murder.
The military court should free Mr Jadhav without losing any further time, and should bear in mind that his execution shall have wider ramifications for Indo-Pak ties.

Sir,
In Pakistan where even Prime Minister of yesteryears did not know when he will be hanged i.e. on 4th of April 1979, how could we in India say what will be the fate of Kulbhushan Jadhav who was captured in Baluchistan on March 3, 2016 by Pak authorities. He is alleged to be involved in espionage and sabotage activities. Born on January 5, 1928 in family owning 1.21 lakh acres of land spread over 39 villages in Larkana district of Sindh Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was hanged and his daughter and wife who visited him just at 11.30 A.M had no inkling about his execution. Pakistan which is not less than a rouge state, where thousands are in jails and lakhs of Baluchistanis murdered , it is something impossible to get justice for this Indian soldier until and unless strict decisions are taken for the Pakistanis held in Indian jails. Sarabjit is a recent example which cannot be forgotten so easily.
Yours etc…
