The venom spat by the Indian foreign minister vis-à-vis death sentence awarded to Indian Naval Officer (self-confessed RAW Agent) Kulbushan Sudhir Jadhav by Field General Court Marshal (FGCM) under section 59 of Pakistan Army Act (PAA) of 1952 and section 3 of official Secret Act of 1923 is shocking indeed. It is a known fact that the accused was provided the services of a defending officer as per legal provisions.
India must remember that Kulbushan Jadhav was tried under the law of the land and was awarded capital punishment by fulfilling all legal requirements. It mustn’t also forget that its agent Kulbushan himself confessed to his involvement in anti-state activities in Pakistan, on the behest of the Indian government. The civilised world must prevail on India and admonish it to desist from carrying out detestable terrorist activities in Pakistan.
