ISLAMABAD: Indian RAW agent Kulbhushan Jadhav’s death sentence was as per the law of the country, said Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Monday.
Talking to media on the floor of the Senate, he said that it was premature to say when the decision will be implemented.
He said that it was too early to give a reaction on India’s objection over the death sentence.
India in response to the death sentence, had said that in case the punishment is carried out it would ‘regard it as premeditated murder’.
Indian Foreign Secretary had summoned Pakistani High Commissioner Abdul Basit to handover a demarche on the issue.
The Indian demarche claimed that Jadhav “was kidnapped last year from Iran and his subsequent presence in Pakistan has never been explained credibly,“ adding, “the Government of India, through its High Commission in Islamabad, has repeatedly sought consular access to him, as provided for by international law. This was not permitted by the Pakistani authorities.”
The Pakistan High Commissioner said that Pakistan did nothing wrong in giving death sentence to a terrorist. “Our desire for peace in the region must not be taken as our weakness,” he said.
