| [DAWN] The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Monday heard the case brought to it by India pertaining to the sentencing of Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was handed a death sentence by a Pak Field General Court Martial (FGCM) last month. Ambassador Moazzam Ahmad Khan, Dr Muhammad Faisal and Syed Faraz Hussain were present at the Peace Palace as members of Pakistain's legal team. Khawar Qureshi led Pakistain's arguments, while Asad Rahim Khan and Joseph Dyke were present on Pakistain's behalf for the proceedings in The Hague. Presenting its arguments before the court, Pakistain maintained that the ICJ did not have jurisdiction to hear the Indian application, Radio Pakistain, the state-run broadcasting service, reported. The arguments for Pakistain were presented by Dr Faisal to the court in The Hague, Netherlands, on Monday. Pak representatives told the court that Jadhav "has confessed to having been sent by India to wage terror on the innocent civilians and infrastructure of Pakistain". |
