Why were ICJ and ICRC not involved? Congress questions government on Jadhav meeting with kin

NEW DELHI: The Congress as of late took goal at what it believes is the Centre's mismanagement of the assembly between Kulbhushan Jadhav and his members of the family in Pakistan, and requested why the International Court of Justice (ICJ) or the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) wasn't requested to facilitate the discuss with.

In a tweet, Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari condemned Pakistan's behaviour, but also requested the Centre if any floor rules have been set between New Delhi and Islamabad earlier than the assembly of Jadhav, who is on demise row in Pakistan for alleged espionage, along with his spouse and his mother.


The Congress posed those questions after Jadhav's members of the family detailed to the government the intimidation and humiliation they suffered at the hands of Pakistan during their Christmas Day assembly.

Earlier too, the Congress known as that the humiliation of Jadhav's members of the family by way of Pakistan "a diplomatic failure" of the government and the ministry of exterior affairs (MEA).

"The manner in which Kulbhushan Jadhav's family was treated is inhuman. The MEA should have ensured what kind of protocol is arranged for (Jadhav) family. It's a diplomatic failure on the part of our MEA and country," stated senior Congress leader Veerappa Moily on Wednesday.

He added that exterior affairs minister Sushma Swaraj or PM Narendra Modi must have discussed the subject with their counterparts in Pakistan earlier than Jadhav's mother and spouse went to Islamabad.


Yesterday, Swaraj, introduced a report back to Parliament at the discuss with by way of Jadhav's kin. She accused Pakistan of the use of Jadhav's spouse and mother as a "propaganda weapon" and violating their human rights.


"Both married women were presented as widows in front of a son and husband. There can be no greater insult than this," Swaraj stated, as she referred to Pakistani officials forcing Jadhav's mother Avanti and spouse Chetna to take away their bangles, bindi and mangalsutra.


The remedy meted out to Jadhav's family has been condemned unequivocally by way of all parties, together with the Congress, which known as Pakistan's behaviour "an insult to 130 crore Indians".


"The misbehaviour of Pakistan with the wife and the mother of Kulbhushan Jadhav was misbehaviour with all 130 crore Indians. Regardless of political differences, when it comes to the country's dignity, we will stand together and if another country misbehaves with our mothers and sisters, it will not be tolerated," Mr Azad stated in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
