THE HAGUE: Dismissing India's stance, Pakistan has made it clear in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that Kulbhushan Jadhav neither is an ordinary prisoner nor Vienna Convention is implemented on him, Geo News reported.
In its counter-memorial, Pakistan has stated that Jadhav is not an ordinary person 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.
Talking to Geo News earlier, Attorney General of Pakistan Ashtar Ausaf Ali said he thought the case would be taken up for hearing around April, May. The recently elected judges of the ICJ will take their oath on February 6. Former chief justice of Pakistan Tassaduq Hussain Jillani will also serve as an ad-hoc judge in the bench.
Pakistan's reply was submitted by the Foreign Office's Director India, Fariha Bugti.
Earlier, Geo News reported that the reply was jointly prepared by the attorney general, Pakistan's legal team in the case, and officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Sources further revealed that the document included details of Jadhav's involvement in subversive activities inside Pakistan, his trial and sentencing.
Commander Jadhav ? an on-duty Indian Navy officer working for Indian covert agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) ? was arrested on March 3, 2016, from Balochistan, after he entered Pakistan from Iran.
The reply also encompasses the charge-sheet against the convicted RAW operative and narrates Pakistan's stance in a comprehensive manner, sources said.
Islamabad has said that the case of Kulbhushan Jadhav substantiates India?s continued involvement in subversive activities in Pakistan.
Earlier this year, Pakistan?s permanent representative to the UN Maleeha Lodhi handed over a dossier to United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres detailing evidence of Indian subversive activities within Pakistani territory.
The dossier contained Jadhav?s confessional statement and related documents and evidence of Indian interference in Balochistan. Video evidence of an Indian Navy submarine sneaking into Pakistani waters on November 18, 2016 was also part of the dossier.
The dossier also included proof of contacts of Indian intelligence officials, working under diplomatic cover at Indian High Commission in Islamabad, with terrorists. Pakistan, in the dossier, urged the United Nations to prevent India from attempting to destabilise it.Investigations after Jadhav?s arrest last year had revealed that the undercover Indian agent?s main agenda was to sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) through propaganda and to create disharmony among the Baloch nationalist political parties.
