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.
