Indian spy Jadhav will not be extradited, says Sartaj

islamabad — The Pakistan government is not considering to extradite Indian “spy” Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was arrested for allegedly being involved in “subversive activities” in Pakistan, Foreign Affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz told the Senate on Friday.

Jadhav was reportedly arrested in Balochistan after entering the country from Iran.

According to Sartaj, an FIR has been registered against the alleged Indian agent, Dawn online reported.

When asked if the government was planning to give the same ‘red carpet’ treatment to Jadhav, which they gave to CIA contractor Raymond Davis, Sartaj explained: “It has never been said that there was

any lack of evidence against him.”

“We have prepared an FIR and a case to prosecute the Indian state actor for (his) involvement in subversive and terrorist activities in Pakistan,” Sartaj told the House during Question Hour.

The Pakistan Army had earlier released a “confessional video” of Jadhav, in which he said he was a serving Indian Navy officer. India has acknowledged Jadhav as a retired Indian Navy officer, but denied that he was in any way connected to the government.

Sartaj said Islamabad has shared a dossier with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on New Delhi’s involvement in internal affairs of Pakistan and in subversive and terrorist activities in the country.

“This dossier includes details about Kulbashan Jadhav and his activities.”

The adviser also said the dossier was prepared on the basis of thorough ground work and inputs from various departments.

According to Geo TV, the dossier was a way forward to work on the prosecution of Jadhav. —
