ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Convicted Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav stuck to his confessional statement and he admitted working for Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) during consular access. According to the details of meeting between Indian Deputy High Commissioner Gaurav Ahluwalia and Kulbushan Jadhav, he maintained that he was involved in subversive activities including espionage in Pakistan. It is pertinent to mention here that Kulbushan Jadhav was given the death sentence on charges of espionage and terrorism. “Indian deputy high commissioner has repeatedly insisted that the Indian government stands behind you but Commander Jadhav stuck to the confessional statement he made on previous occasions before the Pakistani authorities.” It was also reported that Jadhav informed the Indian envoy that he was working for RAW to carry out ‘subversive activities’ in Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan. Jadhav was allowed to meet India Charge d’ Affaires in Pakistan Gaurav Ahluwalia, pursuant to the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ruled that under the Vienna Convention. “Consular access was provided for two hours. A day earlier, Pakistan formally granted the consular access to the Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav. Indian deputy high commissioner met RAW agent at a sub-jail in Islamabad. The meeting lasted for two hour. The Foreign Office’s officials were also present during the meeting. However, Kulbushan Jadhav was provided consular access under the law of Pakistani laws. Earlier today, India accepted Pakistan offer granting access to Indian spy Kulbushan Jadhav on Monday as Indian Charge d’Affaires in Pakistan Gaurav Ahluwalia arrived to meet Indian former Navy commander. It is pertinent to mention here that Jadhav – who was arrested from Balochistan by security agencies over espionage charges – was convicted and sentenced to death by a military tribunal for spying.
