Pak PM, Army Chief discuss Jadhav issue
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday met Army Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa and discussed the death penalty of alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav.
They also discussed issues related to national security, an official statement said. During the meeting, PM was briefed over the outcomes of ongoing anti-terrorism operation Raddul Fasad (elimination of discord), it said.
Earlier, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) asked Pakistan to stay Jadhav’s execution until a final verdict. “Pakistan shall take all measures at its disposal to ensure that Jadhav is not executed pending the final decision in these proceedings,” the ICJ ruled.
India had approached the top UN court after Jhadhav was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court for his role in terrorism.

The alleged Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) agent was found guilty of conducting espionage activities in the country. India however, claims he was kidnapped from Iran last year. The trial against Jadhav was conducted under the Pakistan Army Act 1952 and Official Secret Act of 1923.
PM Sharif also appreciated the sacrifices rendered by Pakistan Army in the war against terrorism, said the statement.
