LAHORE: Pakistan High Commissioner in India Abdul Basit has given Indian External Affairs Ministry a befitting response in the case of Kulbhushan Yadev.
Indian Ministry of External Affairs summoned Pakistani High Commissioner Abdul Basit on Monday and lodged protest with over death sentence awarded to spy Kulbhushan Jadhav that was announced by Pakistan Army on Monday.
Sources privy to Pakistan HC reported that Indian authorities asserted that New Delhi was not informed of trial against Jadhav after his arrest last year.

He demanded off the Indian government to end support of terrorists for sectarian violence and terrorism in different parts of Pakistan.
Kulbhushan Jadhav who was held on march 3, 2016 in Mashkel of Balochistan by law enforcement agencies was tried and convicted of espionage and sabotage activities against Pakistan.
“RAW agent Commander Kulbushan Sudhir Jadhav was tried by FGCM under section 59 of Pakistan Army Act (PAA) 1952 and Section 3 of official Secret Act of 1923. FGCM found Kulbushan Sudhir Yadhav guilty of all the charges,” a statement of the media cell stated.
