Kulbhushan Jadhav Case: Pakistan provides India second consular access!

A statement issued by foreign office today, India accepts Pakistan’s second offer of consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav. Reportedly, Indian Charge d’Affaires visited the Foreign Office today to convey New Delhi’s acceptance of the offer.

Furthermore, it is likely that consular access to the RAW spy will be given today. The offer was first made in August last year and was rejected by India as it sought “unimpeded” access to him.

Subsequently, on September 2, 2019, “two consular officers of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad were provided unimpeded and uninterrupted consular access to Commander Jadhav at 1500 hours”, according to the statement.

FO Director-General South Asia Zahid Hafeez said in a press conference that usually consular access is granted once. However, Pakistan as a “humanitarian gesture was extending another such offer for the second time.
