The meeting of a senior Indian diplomat with Kulbhushan Jadhav on Monday saw the Indian national — held in Pakistan since 2016 — repeat a tutored narrative under “extreme stress” intended to support Pakistan’s claim that he was allegedly plotting terror attacks.

“While we await a comprehensive report, it was clear that Jadhav appeared to be under extreme pressure to parrot a false narrative to bolster Pakistan’s untenable claims. We will decide our further course of action after receiving a detailed report from our charge d’affaires and determining the extent of conformity to the ICJ directives,’’ MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said.
