ISLAMABAD – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi Sunday slammed Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz for spoiling convicted Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav’s case.
Speaking at a presser in his hometown Multan, the PTI leader said ‘We are implementing the recommendations of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and we took measures on their advice. Adding that, ‘the government believes in accountability, not revenge.’
