External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday tore apart Pakistan's spy shoe theory in the aftermath of the meeting between Kulbhushan Jadhav and his family in Islamabad.

Making a statement in Rajya Sabha, Swaraj said the way Pakistan is spreading rumours that the shoes Jadhav's wife wore were 'bugged' is "absurd beyond measure".

"Pakistani officials surprisingly asked Jadhav's wife to remove her shoes and was provided slippers. Pakistan didn't return her shoes after the meeting despite several requests by Jadhav's wife. Now, our apprehensions are proving to be true as reports coming from Pakistan allege that there was a camera or a recording chip hidden in the shoes," Swaraj said.


The External Affairs Minister said it is absurdity beyond measure as both women took two flights -- Air India and Emirates Airlines -- to reach Islamabad.


"For the sake of believing, let's assume the 'suspicious shoes' were cleared by Air India, but what about the Emirates Airline flight that they took from Dubai to Islamabad? Is it possible for anyone to deceive the security check of Emirates Airlines?" Swaraj asked, and added: "it's absurdity beyond measure".


Continuing the attack on Pakistan, Swaraj said Islamabad crossed all limits of inhumanity in the garb of allowing jailed Indian Naval officer Jadhav to meet his mother and wife after 22 months.
