ISLAMABAD: Khawar Qureshi, the lawyer representing Pakistan in the Indian spy Kulbushan Jadhav case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) said that ICJ is neither going to retire Jadhav nor acquit him.
He was speaking to the media after holding a meeting over the high-profile case with Attorney General Ashtar Ausaf Ali. He said that “the commander Jadhav case is a very clear case. Commander Jadhav can never be released or acquitted. You are making something out of nothing.”
He also advised the media officials to “behave responsibly” and “give Pakistani officials the respect they deserve.”
He added, “Foreign Office will be giving you a much more detailed press statement soon.”
The lawyer also said that India has wrongly claimed victory after the ICJ temporarily stayed the death sentence of Jadhav. He had explained that the problem seems to be that this case is more about political point scoring than about the law.
The lawyer had come under fire after the ICJ verdict. Many political analysts and politicians had claimed that the decision came against Pakistan as the country’s legal counsel was not adequately prepared.
Following the verdict, reports stated that the attorney general was appointed lead counsel to represent Pakistan at the ICJ.
