Pakistan rules out 2nd consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav

Islamabad: Pakistan said on Thursday it has no plans for granting India second consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav.

Mohammad Faisal, spokesperson of the Pakistan Foreign Ministry, at his weekly media briefing said: "There will be no other meeting with Kulbhushan Jadhav."

He did not give any further details.

Pakistan had on September 2 granted India consular access to Jadhav, for the first time since his arrest in 2016.

Indian Charge d'Affaires Gaurav Ahluwalia met Jadhav at a "sub-jail" in Rawalpindi. Following the meeting, India had said that Jadhav seemed to be under "extreme pressure to parrot a false narrative" of his being an Indian spy.

Pakistan granted the consular access line with the decision of the International Court of Justice.
