New Delhi: After Pakistan's denied to give second consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav, ministry of external affairs said that New Delhi will keep trying that judgement of ICJ is fully implemented.
MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, "New Delhi would like to remain in touch with the Pakistani side through diplomatic channels."
Jadhav, a former Indian Navy officer, was kidnapped by Pakistani agencies on March 3, 2016, from Iran where he was in connection with his business.
Pakistan had claimed that Jadhav was arrested from its restive province of Balochistan and labelled him as a spy. It notified India about it through a press release on March 25, 2016, 22 days after he was picked up.
The International Court of Justice had rejected all objections raised by Pakistan, directed it to grant consular access to Jadhav 'without further delay' while holding that it had 'breached' the Vienna Convention by denying him this right.
Jadhav (49), who hails from Powai in Mumbai was subjected to an opaque military trial, which sentenced him to death on April 10, 2017, even as Pakistan government kept rejecting India's repeated pleas for consular access.
