HAGUE, Feb 21 (APP): Pakistan on Thursday completed its arguments in Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav case at International Court of Justice on the fourth day of hearing.
English Queen’s Counsel Barrister Khawar Qureshi representing Pakistan while completing his arguments prayed before the UN court that ICJ must reject Indian plea of relief for Kulbhushan and term it inadmissible.
Before the 15-member bench, Counsel Qureshi termed India’s oral arguments – presented a day earlier – as “an opportunity wasted”, saying India failed to answer fundamental questions regarding subversive activities of its serving navy commander inside Pakistan.
Counsel Khawar Qureshi argued India’s demand of provisional measures without conduct of any hearing since it invoked ICJ’s jurisdiction on May 8, 2016 and termed “outlandish” the Indian claim for “at least” acquittal, release and return of Jadhav.
Calling India’s proposition as “absurd and nonsensical,” he said India was showing lack of good faith and sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan through Jadhav.
