Indian diplomat yelled at my mother, says spy
ISLAMABAD: A fresh recorded statement of Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was convicted by a Pakistani military court for being an agent of Indian spy agency RAW, was released by the Foreign Office on Thursday, in which he rejected Indian allegations against Pakistan over his December 25 meeting with his mother and wife.
In the video released by the Foreign Office, he thanks Pakistan for its gesture and says he felt that his mother and wife were scared during the meeting. He adds that an Indian diplomat was shouting at the women.
“There was an Indian diplomat with my mother, who was continuously shouting at her,” says the Indian spy jailed in Pakistan. “During the meeting, it looked like my mother had been beaten and brought here on a plane,” he’s further heard saying.
The Indian diplomat who accompanied Jadhav’s mother and his wife on the visit was Indian deputy high commissioner to Pakistan JP Singh, the Times of India reported.
Jadhav said he “saw fear” in his mother’s eyes. He’s then heard asking India why it is lying about him not working for an intelligence agency. “I want to tell India that I am a commissioned officer in the Indian Navy. Why are you lying about my working for an intelligence agency?” he asked.
He added that his mother was “very happy” to see him and was “in a good state”. “I said don’t worry Mummy. They (Pakistan) are taking care of me, they have not touched me. She believed me once she saw me personally,” Jadhav said.
Jadhav met his wife and his mother on December 25, in a visit that became highly controversial, after India’s baseless allegations against Pakistan. Last week, responding to a query regarding the Indian External Affairs Miniser’s statement, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif categorically rejected all Indian allegations and stated that the meeting of the wife and mother Kulbhushan Jadhav in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was permitted on humanitarian grounds, in lines with Islamic teachings and traditions of compassion and grace.
Referring to the intense hue and cry in the Indian media questioning the modalities of the visit, and advancing farfetched conspiracy theories about the change of clothes of the visitors, the retention of the shoe of the wife and the language in which the meeting was conducted, the Foreign Minister underscored that Pakistan’s humanitarian gesture did not obviate the fact that this was not an ordinary meeting between a mother and wife with their son and husband. The reality remains that Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav is a serving Indian Naval Officer and a convicted Indian terrorist and spy responsible for multiple deaths and destruction in Pakistan. NNI
