India has so far been evasive and been looking for a pretext to somehow frustrate Pakistan efforts to implement the ICJ judgment, Zahid Hafeez Chaudhary, spokesman of Foreign Office said while responding to a News Diplomacy’s question in a briefing on Thursday.
He said, the Indian side has also been making incongruous demands of allowing an Indian Lawyer to represent Commander Jadhav. We have repeatedly informed the Indian side that only those lawyers can represent Commander Jadhav in the court who have valid license to practice law in Pakistan, the spokesman said.
According to FO’s spomesman, India has not yet availed Pakistan’s offer of the 3rd consular access to Commander Jadhav despite repeated reminders by the Government of Pakistan.
The latest hearing of Kulbhushan Jadhav case took place in Islamabad High Court on 01 December, in which the honorable court gave yet another chance to the Indian government to appoint a lawyer for Commander Jadhav, Zahid Hafeez said, however, it seems that the Indian Government is more interested in political point scoring.
Spokesperson of FO emphasized said, let me reiterate our position that Pakistan remains fully committed to the implementation of the ICJ judgment. The Indian government should come forward and cooperate with the courts in Pakistan so that full effect could be given to the ICJ judgment, he added.
