Pakistan to grant consular access to Indian RAW agent Kulbhushan Jhadav?

*ISLAMABAD - Pakistan will grant consular access to Indian spy Kulbushan Jadhav in accordance with its laws, its Foreign Office announced Thursday.*
Jadhav, a commander of the Indian Navy associated with Indian spy agency Research and Analysis Wing, was arrested from Balochistan in March 2016 on the allegations of espionage and terrorism. He was subsequently sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court after he confessed to his involvement in terrorist plots.
India, however, claimed that Jadhav was not a spy and challenged his sentencing in the International Court of Justice.
The ICJ ordered Pakistan on Wednesday to review the death sentence handed to Jadhav, by the “means of its own choosing”. The court also ruled that Pakistan should provide Indian consular officers access to Jadhav and inform him of his rights under the Vienna Convention.
