New Delhi, November 17
India was unimpressed by the Pakistani law enacted to bring into effect the judgement of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case.
The law simply codifies the shortcomings of the previous ordinance, said MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.
Pakistan continues to deny unimpeded and unhindered consular access to Shri Jadhav and has failed to create an atmosphere in which a fair trial can be conducted, he added.
“We have seen reports of Pakistan enacting into law the earlier ordinance that was ostensibly enacted to bring into effect the ICJ judgement. Nothing could have been further from the truth. As stated earlier, the ordinance did not create the machinery for an effective review and reconsideration of Jadhav’s case as mandated by the judgement of the ICJ,” he said in response to media queries on the joint sitting by Pakistan Parliament on Wednesday.
