India
not happy with Pakistan’s behaviour
The meeting took place in Islamabad between
former naval commander Kulbhushan Jadhav and his family. Jadhav’s meeting with
his mother and his wife has led quickly to an unseemly spat. The bilateral ties
could now deteriorate further. Pakistan had conducted a secret
military court trial of Mr. Jadhav on terrorism and spying charges.
Pakistan’s Foreign Office turned a personal,
humanitarian meeting into a media circus. A gaggle of hostile journalists
hurled undignified questions at the women. Is this called a humanitarian
gesture?
India objected to the frisking, change of
attire and removal of the mangalsutra necklace, bindi, and so on of the
two women who went to meet Jadhav. But most prison manuals in India mandate the
removal of all metal objects and most accessories, while several
prisoner-family meetings around the world take place across glass screens,
especially when they involve terror suspects. It is true that a coerced
confession and dual passports appear to be the only evidence against him, But the inhumanity, injustice, and
imprudence of carrying out Jadhav’s sentence should be prevented by reasoned diplomacy.
India accused Pakistan of violating mutual
understanding on Jadhav’s meeting with his family, and said the Indian national
appeared coerced and under considerable stress during the tightly-controlled
interaction. India accused Pakistan of violating mutual understanding on
Jadhav’s meeting with his family.
