ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Monday stressed that the death sentence of convicted RAW agent Kulbhushan Jadhav was according to the law, adding that the Indian government backed him to cause unrest in Balochistan.
He said, “India is not our well wisher,” and the neighbouring country sponsored cross-border terrorism in Pakistan.
Khawaja Asif told that India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) had joined hands with National Directorate of Security in Afghanistan to spread restlessness in Balochistan and sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
“No leniency will be given to those with anti-Pakistan sentiments,” he added while saying that the death sentence of Kulbhushan Jadhav was according to the laws.
The Defence Minister believes that death sentence to Kulbhushan Jadhav under Field General Court Martial (FGCM) by Pakistan Army for espionage and sabotage activities was a warning to enemies of the country. “The decision will help eradicate terrorism in Balochistan,” he said.
On the other hand, Balochistan Interior Minister Sarfaraz Bugti, while talking to media, considered the matter a symbol of victory for Pakistan as Kulbhushan Jadhav represented a terrorist organization. He also believes that the death sentence to convicted RAW agent will help fight terrorism in the country. NNI
