Jadhav is on death row in Pakistan for alleged spying. Pakistan claims its security forces arrested Jadhav from its restive Balochistan province. India, however, maintains that Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran where he had business interests after retiring from the Indian Navy. Twitter@ForeignOfficePk

Pakistan later released pictures of Jadhav talking to his wife and mother from behind a glass screen. The communication between them was through an intercom device. Their meeting, however, was heavily guarded and Pakistan’s Foreign Office Director for India, Dr Fareha Bugti, remained present throughout the duration of the meeting. The interaction was also video recorded. Twitter/ @ForeignOfficePk

Indian deputy envoy JP Singh, who accompanied the family, was allowed to witness the meeting from a distance, but wasn’t permitted to talk or listen to Jadhav.

Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal said that the meeting had nothing to do with the case at the International Court of Justice, and was purely facilitated on “humanitarian principles.” He said allowing the family to meet Jadhav did not reflect a change in Pakistan’s stance, as he called Jadhav “face of Indian terrorism in Pakistan.” News18
