New Delhi: The Indian government has decided to put all bilateral talks with Pakistan on hold over the death sentence to Kulbhushan Jadhav.
The first casualty of the move has been talks between DGs of the Indian Coast Guard and Pakistan Maritime Security Agency which were scheduled to start on April 17.
"Postponement of talks have been conveyed to the Pakistani side. No new dates decided as yet,” a government source told CNN-News18.
Sources said that water secretary level talks are also on hold as India did not communicate acceptance of dates proposed by the Pakistan side. Pakistan proposed talks in April-end.
BJP leader Ram Madhav, reacting to the situation, said, “Pakistan’s attitude towards Jadhav is condemnable. Consular access was denied to the India High Commission which is violation of human rights. We will try to serve justice to Jadhav. We will raise this on international forum and discuss with leaders of other nations.”
Meanwhile, Iran reacted to reports of allegations that arrested gangster Uzair Baloch was working with Iranian intelligence agencies.
Baloch has also been linked to Jadhav. Pakistan army took custody Baloch for allegedly helping Jadhav spy against Pakistan.
