Propagandistic exercises carry no credibility: India on new Jadhav video

January 04, 2018 16:20

Minutes after Pakistan released another video of Indian death row prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav, the ministry of external affairs said that it is not surprised by the new video.

The MEA said that Pakistan is simply continuing its practice of putting out coerced statements on video.

"It is time for Pakistan to realise that such propagandistic exercises simply carry no credibility. Pakistan best advised to fulfil its international obligations, whether it pertains to consular relations or UNSC resolutions 1267 and 1373 on terrorism and to desist from continuing violations of human rights of an Indian national." it added.

The ministry further said, "The absurdity of a captive under duress certifying his own welfare while mouthing allegations of his captors clearly merits no comment."

In the video, Jadhav says he is a commissioned officer of the Indian Navy and that his commission has not gone. He also asked India why it was "lying" that he was not working for an intelligence agency.

He also said that the Indian diplomat who accompanied his family for the meeting yelled at his mother.
