Kulbhushan Jadhav under Extreme Pressure: India

New Delhi: India said that its former navy officer Kulbhushan Yadav, held by Pakistan for alleged espionage, seemed to be under “extreme pressure to parrot a false narrative” supporting the charges slapped on him. India’s Deputy High Commissioner in Islamabad Gaurav Ahluwalia on Monday met Kulbhushan Jadhav in a sub-jail for over an hour after Islamabad granted for consular access to him in line with the International Court of Justice directions.

The meeting between the senior Indian diplomat and Kulbhushan Yadav is the first since he was arrested on charges of alleged espionage three years ago. According to the Express Tribune, the venue of the meeting was not divulged due to the sensitivity attached to the matter. Following the meeting, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said while India was still awaiting a comprehensive report, it was clear that Kulbhushan Jadhav “appeared to be under extreme pressure to parrot a false narrative to bolster Pakistan’s untenable claims”. “We will decide a further course of action after receiving a detailed report.’’ (IANS)
