India has failed to avail the legal remedies provided by Pakistan for its spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was arrested in Balochistan six years ago on charges of carrying out subversive activities on Pakistani soil.
India’s continuous refusal to file a review petition in line with the directive of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) speaks volumes about its denial of the ground reality, when the serving navy commander was caught red-handed on March 3, 2016, in Balochistan.
In the case of Commander Jadhav, Pakistan’s parliament had adopted legislation namely ICJ’s Review and Re-consideration Act, 2020 that provided for the right of review and reconsideration in giving effect to the judgment of the ICJ
The passage of the Bill, according to the Foreign Office, reaffirmed that “Pakistan continues to take its obligation with regard to the ICJ judgment very seriously”.
As Pakistan repeatedly reminded India of its obligation to arrange legal representation of Commander Jadhav under paragraph 118 of the ICJ judgment, the response from the Indian side is a clear manifestation that India is shying away from the solid proof of its sabotage activities against Pakistan.
Commander Jadhav, an Indian spy, and RAW operative was found facilitating numerous acts of terrorism in Pakistan, which resulted in the killings of countless innocent citizens of Pakistan. Kulbhushan Jadhav, alias Hussain Mubarek Patel, was arrested on March 3, 2016, from Mashkel, Balochistan while traveling to Pakistan on an Iranian passport.
A serving Indian Navy officer, Jadhav was involved in spying, acts of terrorism, and sabotage against the state of Pakistan on behalf of the Indian government. Born in the city of Sangli in the Indian state of Maharashtra on April 15, 1969, he joined the Indian National Defence Academy in 1987 and was commissioned in the
engineering branch of the Indian Navy in 1991.Kulbhushan Jadhav was picked up by the Indian spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) at the end of 2013, which had been carrying out various subversive activities in Karachi and Balochistan.
RAW gave Jadhav a pseudo name as Hossein Mubarak Patel to conceal his real identity and his job was to hold meetings with Baloch
insurgents and collaborate with them to carry out activities of a criminal nature. During interrogation, Jadhav revealed that at Wadh, he was in contact with Haji Baloch, who provided financial and logistic support to Baloch separatists and the Islamic State network in Karachi. APP
