May 18, 2017 19:35

Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi today said the International Court of Justice order staying the execution of Kulbhushan Jadhav was a blow to the bogus stand put forth by Pakistan and vindicated the position taken

by India.

He said the interim order was a "big step" since India's stand was based on truth, justice and respect for human rights.

The top law officer was all praise for attorney Harish Salve saying he made India proud by scoring the first round of victory in the case of Jadhav, a retired Indian Navy officer, who has been sentenced to death by a Pakistan military court on charges of espionage and subversive activity.

He also congratulated the Ministry of External Affairs on the steps taken in the matter.
