Responding to Pakistan?s offer made earlier, India is not ready to send Kulbhushan Jadhav?s wife alone to Pakistan to meet the former Indian naval officer who faces a death sentence on the grounds of spying, according to sources.
Furthermore,
India had requested that Kulbhushan?s mother be allowed to meet him too. However, it is still awaiting a reply from
Pakistan in that regard.
?It is not a fair proposition to
send his
wife alone to meet him. We are awaiting a response from the
Pakistan government on the plea for letting his mother meet him, which anyway was our first request,? cited a source.
Another source maintained that
India had sought consular access to Jadhav whose case is now being dealt at the International Court of Justice (ICIJ), and is awaiting a response for this concern too.
In a tweet,
Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Faisal said on November 18: ?Indian reply to Pakistan?s humanitarian offer for Commander Jadhav received & is being considered.?
While
Jadhav?s mercy plea was turned down by Pakistan?s military appellate court in the past, Army Chief is now currently looking after the clemency plea.
