Jadhav, kin separated by glass barrier due to 'security reasons', says Pak

December 25, 2017 20:09

The mother and the wife of former Indian Naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav finally met him earlier in the day. But it was not any ordinary meeting as they were separated by a glass barrier.

The Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to this end, clarified that the barrier was placed due to security reasons and that Jadhav already knew this would be the setting.

"It was there due to security reasons. We had already told them that you will be able to meet him but a security barrier would be there," Dr Mohammed Faisal, Pakistan foreign ministry spokesperson said.

Faisal substantiated his stance by adding that Pakistan considered Jadhav as "the face of Indian terrorism, especially in Pakistan."

On the matter of consular access, Faisal said the meeting was just on 'humanitarian ground' and was not a 'consular access.'
