New Delhi, Nov. 18 (TNS): Pakistan on Saturday said it is “considering” India’s request to let Kulbhushan Jadhav’s mother meet him, apart from his wife who has already received permission to visit the Indian death row prisoner, Indian media reported.
Last week, Pakistan said it had offered to arrange a meeting between 46-year-old Indian spay and his wife, months after India had requested it to grant a visa to his mother on humanitarian grounds.
Foreign Office (FO) sources here said India in response has again asked Pakistan to issue a visa to Jadhav’s mother so she can also visit her detained son.
FO spokesman Mohammad Faisal confirmed that India has responded to Pakistan’s offer.
“Indian reply to Pakistan’s humanitarian offer for Commander Jadhav received & is being considered,” he tweeted.
Jadhav, Indian agency RAW’s officer, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court in April on charges of espionage and terrorism. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in May halted his execution on India’s appeal.
