508

Islamabad, Dec. 13 (TNS): Pakistan has dismissed India’s stance while submitting its reply in the case of convicted Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Foreign Office said in a statement.

In its counter-memorial, Pakistan has stated that Jadhav is not an ordinary prison as he had entered the country with the intent of spying and carrying out sabotage activities.

The reply also states that Jadhav, who was a serving officer of the Indian Navy, does not fall under the purview of the Vienna Convention.

The international court will now decide whether to take the case forward for hearing or ask the parties (India and Pakistan) to submit more documents.

Pakistan’s reply was submitted by the Foreign Office’s Director India, Fariha Bugti.
