MEA hails Swaraj's 'legal' precision for Jadhav's execution stay
May 10, 2017
With the International Court of Justice putting a stay on
Kulbhushan Jadhav's execution, the Ministry of External Affairs on
Wednesday hailed the precision and the legal action taken by External
Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in the matter.
MoS (External
Affairs) VK Singh told ANI, "ICJ's approval to our stand proves that
India was always right in saying that Pakistan was unnecessarily playing
politics by giving a penalty of death sentence to Indian national
Kulbhushan Jadhav."
Singh applauded External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj for putting her special attention on this matter.
"First
and foremost we should all compliment our external affairs minister
Sushma ji for taking very keen interest and a great concern she has
exhibited," Singh said.
"Swaraj called all people who could give
legal advice, she herself is a lawyer and based on the legal advice we
were able to file our petition to the ICJ and they have agreed to our
stand," he added.
