ISLAMABAD: Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav will be getting consular access on September 2, as per the verdict delivered by Vienna Convention and International Court of Justice (ICJ), announced the Foreign Office on Sunday.
“Consular access for Indian spy Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Indian naval officer and RAW operative, is being provided on Monday, 2 September 2019,” Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal said in a tweet.
He said the consular access would be given in line with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and the recent judgment of the International Court of Justice and the laws of Pakistan.
Commander Jadhav remains in Pakistan’s custody having been convicted for his involvement in espionage, terrorism and sabotage.
Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs, Shah Mehmood Qureshi during a presser in Multan earlier today also confirmed the news the Indian spy will be granted counselor access as Pakistan strives to maintain peace in the region.

He further stated that no sensible country or region would initiate dialogue through armed conflict.
