ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Foreign Office official response has surfaced in the Kulbhushan Yadav case verdict in the ICJ.
Pakistan does not accept the International Court of Justice's jurisdiction in matters related to national security, Foreign Office said after the UN court stayed the execution of Indian national Kulbhushan Yadav.
Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria also hit out at India, saying the country has been "trying to hide its real face" by taking the case of Yadav to ICJ.
Jadhav, 46, was sentenced to death in March by a Military Court and India approached the highest UN judicial body with the plea to stay his execution.
The Hague-based ICJ heard the two sides on Monday where Pakistan had challenged the jurisdiction of the court but in its decision the court prime facie exercised the jurisdiction and accepted the jurisdiction in the case.
