New Delhi, Jul 18 (UNI) Hours after External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar urged Pakistan to release and repatriate Kulbhushan Jadhav as a follow up of ICJ verdict, the government on Thursday said that there should be no confusion on the order of the world court.
"Frankly, it seems to me they (Pakistan) is reading from a different verdict. Main verdict is in 42 pages, if there is no patience to go through 42 pages, Pakistan should go through 7-pages Press Release, where every point is in India's favour," MEA spokesman Raveesh Kumar told reporters here.
The judgement is a vindication of India's stand, he said the court has categorically directed Pakistan to act in accordance with the Vienna Convention.
Answering questions, Mr Kumar said, "Pakistan ko turant action lena chahiye, Hum intezar kar rahen hain (In fact, Pakistan should act quickly, we are waiting)".
Fielding questions, on the arrest of Hafiz Saeed in Pakistan, MEA spokesman said: "This (the arrest and frequent release of JuD chief) has been going for long. This drama has been going on eight times".
"The question is whether this time it will be more than a cosmetic step, whether Hafiz Saeed will be tried and sentenced for his terrorist activities. We hope that his time Hafiz Saeed will be brought to justice," he said.
The Minister said Pakistan is obliged to act on the ICJ order, Mr Kumar said.
