New file on Jadhav to be given to UN: Report

-

islamabad — The government has prepared a new dossier about the militant activities of Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav and will share it with the UN and foreign envoys stationed here, media reports have said.

The new dossier is based on Jadhav’s early testimonia­l and statements given in front of the Field General Court Martial about his involvemen­t in espionage and sabotage activities in Karachi and Balochista­n, reports said.

The document contains the attested report of Court Martial General, as well as the court proceeding­s timeline, The Nation reported. Jadhav, 46, was tried through Field General Court Martial under the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) and was awarded the death sentence. Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa confirmed the death sentence last week.

The documents will also contain details of arrests and raids done by Pakistan security agencies on Jadhav’s tip-offs.

“The dossier will be handed over to different ambassador­s in Islamabad. The Pakistani envoys across the world will also present it to their host states,” the paper said. The document will also be shared with the United Nations and other global organisati­ons, it added.

On Friday, Indian High Commission­er Gautam Bambawale said they would appeal against the death sentence to Jadhav and demanded from Pakistan a copy of the charge-sheet as well as the army court order in the case, besides seeking consular access to the Indian navy officer.

Pakistan security forces arrested Jadhav from Balochista­n on March 3 last year after he entered from Iran.
