New Delhi: Pakistani High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit in an interview to an Indian Newspaper has said that Indian Spy Kulbhushan Jadhav won't be executed until the proceeding in the International Court of Justice has come to an end.
Abdul Basit to an interview to The Hindu newspaper said,
“In case the Court of Appeals rejects a plea of the convicted RAW agent against his death sentence, Jadhav would be able to appeal for clemency to Pakistan Army Chief and the President Mamnoon Hussain”
He further said, “Pakistan would like this matter to be settled quickly, but until (it does), we are committed.”
Talking on LeT, he said that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed under house arrest while several other organisations which he represents are under observation for now.
Kulbushan Sudhir Jadhav alias Hussein Mubarak Patel was arrested on March 3, 2016, through a Counter-Intelligence Operation from Mashkel area of Balochistan for his involvement in espionage and sabotage activities in Pakistan, and had admitted for being involved in anti-Pakistan activities.
He was awarded death sentence by the Field Court Martial General (FCGM) under the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) for espionage and sabotage activities against Pakistan and Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa had confirmed death sentence.
