Sends six notes to Pakistan

NEW DELHI: Desperate to get access to spy Kalbhoshan Yadav, India has sent six notes to the Pakistan Foreign Ministry for consular access to him, government sources have told the Times of India.

The revelation proves that India is much worried over the disclosures made by its spy in Pakistani custody, who has been booked for terrorism by Pakistan.

A note is an unsigned diplomatic communication which is less formal than a letter of protest but is used to forcefully remind the receiving nation of its diplomatic obligations.Official sources said India would continue to seek consular access to Yadav. Pakistan claims that Yadav is a commander-rank officer with the Indian Navy. India says he retired from the Navy in 2002 and had nothing to do with the Indian government when arrested from Balochistan. “India had relentlessly sought access to Yadav. And we don’t believe he is a spy because had he been one, he wouldn’t have been carrying an Indian passport,” said a source here.
