Athawale seeks UN intervention in Jadhav's case

NEW DELHI: Union Minister Ramdas Athawale today said Pakistan should revoke the death sentence awarded to former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav and sought the intervention of the UN and the US in the case.

Strongly condemning Pakistan for its “inhumane” move, Athawale said the country was indulging in high-handedness and spreading terrorism in the world and thus “should be declared a terror state”.

“The UN and countries like the US should intervene in this case which is a blatant example of inhumanity. Just because he had an Indian passport, Pakistan cannot suspect him of espionage and should revoke the death sentence it has awarded him,” he said. (AGENCIES)
