Expect good news on Kulbhushan Jadhav soon says Pakistan

Pakistan has said that there will be good news where Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav is concerned. A Pakistan military court is set to hear the mercy petition filed by Jadhav who was arrested by Pakistan on charges of spying.

Talking to reporters in Rawalpindi, the Director General of Inter Services Public Relation (ISPR), Major General Asif Ghafoor on Thursday said that "good news" on the Kulbhushan Jadhav case could be expected anytime soon. He however did not specify what the good news would be.

During the hearing of the case on May 18, a 10-member bench of the ICJ restrained Pakistan from executing Jadhav. The top UN court had ruled that Pakistan "shall take all measures at its disposal to ensure Jadhav is not executed pending final decision."

On September 27, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif claimed that a proposal was made to swap Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav for a jailed terrorist in Afghanistan, who was responsible for the horrific 2014 Peshawar school attack. India vehemently denied the claim.
