NEW DELHI: Asserting that Kulbhushan Jadhav was given death sentence in Pakistan through a “farcical” process, India today reiterated its demand for consular access to him, a day after Islamabad rejected New Delhi’s request for an access at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar also said the Government was working with the mother and wife of Jadhav for their visit to Pakistan to meet him.
India has repeatedly requested consular access to Jadhav and other Indian nationals imprisoned in Pakistan as per Vienna convention on diplomatic relations, Kumar said.
“We also appealed to ICJ in May as we believe Vienna convention was being violated. We do reiterate our position that Jadhav remains in Pakistan and is facing death sentence given through a farcical process and on concocted charges,” the spokesperson said. (AGENCIES)
