Kulbhushan Jadhav case: Pakistan accuses India of sponsoring terrorism

India on Monday told the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that its national Kulbhushan Jadhav was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court in an "opaque trial" and should be released by Pakistan for violation of Vienna Convention on consular access.

Here are the updates:

Qureshi said, "The evidence before the court manifests abuse of rights, lack of good faith, illegality, lack of clean hands and misrepresentation." India will again put forth its statements on Wednesday at the International Court of Justice: Pakistan Concludes Arguments
Feb 19, 2019, 5:19 PM IST

Pakistan's Khanwar Qureshi ​said, "India came to this court demanding provision of measures without a hearing. India hoped that Pakistan wouldn't appear, but it did. Why didn't India notify Pakistan of a dispute?"
Feb 19, 2019, 5:15 PM IST

Khawar Qureshi claims that the submissions made by India before the International Court of Justice are "shamelessly devoid of substantive argument."

Pakistan lawyer Khawar Qureshi resumed his presentation. Qureshi can go a little beyond 1 pm (17:30 pm IST) to present his arguments, said the International Court of Justice.

Qureshi reiterates the questions demanded by Pakistan. "It is a pity that India attempts to block the truth every time."

Pakistan says, "Jadhav's admission includes the following: That he was a serving officer due to retirement in 2022."
Feb 19, 2019, 4:16 PM IST

"I have had the honour and privilege to represent India in the past, but the incarnation of the country before this court is not one I recognise," Qureshi says. These are proceedings lodged for political theatre and they should be dismissed, Pakistan says.

That Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran is ridiculous, says Pakistan. "India's demand of release and return for Jadhav is a 'modest' claim," Qureshi said.

Feb 19, 2019, 3:52 PM IST

“India has demonstrated a lack of faith throughout these proceedings. India needs to explain how is Jadhav an Indian national and provide proof for the same. It gets murkier and murkier if India tries to answer,” said Pakistan’s Khawar Qureshi.

Pakistan’s Khawar Qureshi while accusing India of blatant misrepresentations in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case, said, “Pakistan said the only remedy available for Jadhav is review by Pakistan High Court. But India rejects it, because it believes in all-or-nothing strategy.”
