ISLAMABAD – India turned down the chance of consular access to Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav by imposing conditions on Pakistan’s sincere offer of the consular access.
According to media details, Pakistan made it clear that the meeting will be held on Friday at 3 pm but India rejected the offer and asked for ‘unimpeded’ access to its spy.
India lost the opportunity of consular access to its spy when it sent its response to Pakistan two hours prior to the meeting and set conditions by raising objections to the Pakistani offer.
India had sought unimpeded access to its spy but unimpeded access to any spy could not be granted under any law. Response to Indian condition will be given after comprehensive consultation.
Sources said that fate of a new date for consular access to Indian navy officer will be decided in the consultation.
On July 17, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) rejected remedies sought by India, including Kulbhushan Jadhav’s release and safe passage to India.
