ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain Thursday said India’s involvement in carrying out terrorist activities in Pakistan was confirmed once again when its spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Navy officer, was arrested from Balochistan six years ago. In a tweet, the minister said Pakistan Army had arrested Kulbhushan six years ago this day, who was the mastermind behind the incidents of terrorism that took place in different areas of Balochistan province and Karachi. “This arrest proves once again that there is India’s hand behind terrorism in Pakistan,” the minister said. New Delhi has failed to avail the legal remedies provided by Islamabad for its spy Kulbhushan Jadhav serving as commander in the Indian Navy, who was arrested in Balochistan six years ago for carrying out subversive activities on Pakistani soil. India’s continuous refusal to file a review petition in line with the directive of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) speaks volumes about its denial of the ground reality that a serving navy commander was caught red-handed on March 3, 2016, in Balochistan. Pakistan’s Parliament had adopted legislation namely ICJ’s Review and Re-consideration Act, 2020 that provided for the right of review and reconsideration in giving effect to the judgment of the ICJ. The passage of the bill, according to the Foreign Office, reaffirmed that “Pakistan continues to take its obligation with regard to the ICJ judgment very seriously As Pakistan repeatedly reminded India of its obligation to arrange legal representation of Commander Kulbhushan under paragraph 118 of the ICJ judgment, the response from the Indian side is a clear manifestation that India is shying away from the solid proof of its sabotage activities against Pakistan. The RAW operative, Commander Kulbhushan alias Hussain Mubarek Patel was found facilitating numerous acts of terrorism on Pakistani soil, which resulted in the killings of countless innocent citizens. He was arrested from Mashkel, Balochistan while travelling in Pakistan on an Iranian passport. He was involved in spying, acts of terrorism and sabotage against the state of Pakistan on behalf of the Indian government.
