Jadhav was not given a proper trial, says Rajnath Singh

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday refuted Pakistan’s claim of a fair trial being given to justice to former Indian Navy officer Kulbhusan Jadhav who has been given death sentence by a Pakistani court. He said that the government would make all efforts to provide justice to Jadhav.

“I do not believe that he was given a proper trial. All efforts are being made. To provide justice to Kulbhusan Jadav, the government will do whatever is required,” Singh said.

Pakistan had said that death sentence to Jadhav was based on “credible” and “specific” evidence that proved his involvement in spying and terror activities and that a more active diplomacy was needed to arrest the “growing crises” in the Indo-Pak ties.

Meanwhile, Lahore high court Bar Association has said that it will take action against any lawyer who extends his services to Kulbhushan Jadhav.

However, India demanded a certified copy of the charge-sheet as well as the judgement in the death sentence of Jadhav.
