Press Statement made by the Adviser to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, on 14 April 2017
ANNEX 6
Press Statement by Mr. Sartaj Aziz, Adviser to the Prime Minister on
Foreign Affairs on 14 April 2017
(2017-04-14) As you are aware,. the death sentence of Kulbushan Jhadav and the
subsequent statements from lndia have generated considerable discussion in the
media. A number of questions have been raised regarding trial of Kulbushan Jhadav. 1
would like to comment on the background and the developments of this case.
Kulbushan Jhadav, who is responsible for espionage, sabotage and terrorism in
Pakistan, has been tried according to the law of the land, in a fully transparent
manner while preserving his rights, as per the Constitution of Pakistan. Due process
has been followed while proceeding against Mr. Jhadav. All further action in this
regard shall also be taken in accordance with our laws.
As is widely known, Kalbushan Jhadav alias, Hussain Mubarak Patel, a serving
Commander of lndian Navy, and working with the lndian Intelligence Agency/RAW was
apprehended on March 3, 2016 after he illegally crossed over into Pakistan from the
Saravan border in Iran. Kulbushan Jhadav was found in possession of an lndian
passport issued by Government of lndia on May 12, 2015 and valid until May 11, 2024.
He confessed that he is a resident of Mumbai, lndia, still serving in the lndian Navy
and his retirement is due in 2022.
He was tried by Field General Court Martial (FGCM) under section 59 of Pakistan Army
Act (PAA) 1952 and Section 3 of Official Secret Act of 1923. Mr. Jhadav was provided
with a legal counsel in accordance with provisions of our law. Mr. Jhadav confessed
before a Magistrate and the Court that he was tasked by the lndian Intelligence
Agency, RAW, to plan, coordinate and organize espionage and sabotage activities
aimed at destabilizing and waging war against Pakistan. Kulbushan was involved in
bath espionage and terrorist/sabotage activities resulting in the loss of many lives and
damage to property.
1 will like to share details of some terrorist activities in which Kulbushan Jhadav was
directly involved.
- He sponsored and directed IEDs and Grenade Attacks in Gawadar and Turbat.
- Directed attacks on the Radar station and civilian boats in the sea, opposite Jiwani
Port.
- Funded subversive secessionist and terrorist elements through Hawala/Hundi for
subverting the Pakistani youth against the country, especially in Balochistan.
- Sponsored explosions of gas pipelines and electric pylons in Sibi and Sui areas in
Balochistan.
- Sponsored IED explosions in Quetta in 2015, causing massive damage to life and
property.
- Sponsored attack on Hazaras in Quetta and Shia Zaireen enroute to and back from
Iran.
ANNEX 6
- Abetted attacks through anti-state elements against LEAs/ FC and FWO in areas of
Turbat, Punjgur, Gawadar, Pasni and Jiwani during 2014-15, killing and injuring many
civilians and soldiers.
The Court found Mr. Jhadav guilty. The espionage case against Kulbushan was tried by
the FGCM and concluded under Pakistan Army Act Section 2 and Official Secret Act
1923. His sentence for espionage was endorsed on 10 April 2017.
The proceedings of this case went through different stages in accordance with legal
requirements over a period of one year. Following is the timeline:
1. Confessional Video statement of Kulbushan Jhadav, the active RAW operative - 25
March 2016
2. Initial FIR in CTD Quetta - 8 April 2016
3. Initial interrogation - 2 May 2016
4. Detailed interrogation - 22 may 2016
5. Joint Investigation Team constituted on 12 July 2016
6. Confessional statement under Section 164 CrPC - 22 July 2016
7. Recording of summary of evidence - 24 September 2016
8. 1 st proceeding - 21 September 2016
9. 2nd proceeding - 19 October 2016
10. 3rd proceeding - 29 November 2016
11. 4th proceeding - 12 February 2017
12. Death sentence endorsed on 10 April 2017
From the outset, transparency was ensured in the proceedings of the trial of
Commander Kulbushan Jhadav. Following steps were specifically taken to ensure
transparency under the Pakistani Laws and Pakistan Army Act.
1) His confessional statement was recorded before a Magistrate under Section 164
CrPC.
2) The proceedings were conducted under the Law of Evidence (Qanun-e-Shahadat
1984) in the competent court
3) A law qualified field officer was provided to defend him throughout the Court
proceedings
4) All statements of witnesses were recorded under oath, in the presence of the
accused, in the court.
5) Commander Kulbushan was allowed to ask questions from witnesses.
6) During the trial, a fully qualified, law officer of Judge Advocate General (JAG)
Branch remained a part of the Court.
7) Punishment after the trial was awarded by the highest forum.
As per law, Kulbushan Jhadav has following available options
1. He has the right to appeal within 40 days to an Appellate Court.
ANNEX 6
2. He may lodge a mercy petition to the COAS within 60 days of the decision by the
appellate court.
3. He may lodge a mercy petition to the President of Pakistan within 90 days after the
decision of COAS on the mercy petit ion.
lt should be clear from these details that Kulbushan Jhadav was tried under the law of
the land in a full y transparent manner. His sentence is based on credible, specific
evidence proving his involvement in espionage and terrorist activities in Pakistan.
Letter of Assistance requesting specific information and access to certain key
witnesses was shared with the Government of lndia on 23 January, 2017. There has
been no response from the lndian side so far.
1 would like to ask lndia why Kulbushan Jhadav was using a fake identity
impersonating as a Muslim? Why would an innocent man possess two passports, one
with a Hindu name and another with a Muslim name? Since lndia has no credible
explanation about why their serving Naval Commander was in Balochistan, it has
unleashed a flimsy propaganda campaign. lnflammatory statements and rhetoric
about "pre-meditated murder" and "unrest in Balochistan", will only result in
escalation, serving no useful purpose.
We condemn the baseless allegations from lndia, especially in the light of the fact
that it was non-cooperation and lack of lndian response to Pakistan's request for legal
assistance, due to which consular access has not been provided to Mr. Jhadav. May 1
mention in this context that lndia has not allowed consular access to many Pakistani
prisoners for many years despite repeated requests.
We expect lndia to behave responsibly and refrain from issuing statements that will
further aggravate people to people hostility. More active diplomacy is therefore
needed to arrest the growing crises in lndia-Pakistan relations before it becomes even
more serious.
ln conclusion of this statement, let me re -emphasize two points:
First, all political parties are unanimous that the award of death penalty after due
process and overwhelming evidence to a foreign spy, who was not only carrying out
subversive activities in Pakistan but actually promoting terrorism, is the correct
decision.
Second, the whole nation is solidly united against any threat to Pakistan's security.

Record of the Press Briefing by Spokesperson on 20 April 2017
(20 17-04-20) [This is a rush transcript. This copy may not be in its final form and may be
updated.]
Opening Remarks
Bismillah IrRelm1an NirRahim Assalaam Alaikum
I offer my profound condolences to Mr. Zafar Hashmi, Chief Reporter Dunya News on the
sad demise of bis beloved father yesterclay. May Allah rest the departed soul in eternal peace
and grant fortitude to the bereaved family to bear the irreparable loss, Arnecn!
Will of Kashrniris in Indian occupied Jammu & Kaslm1ir was clearly visible in their outright
rejection of sham elections there. Our Prime Minister, while calling upon Int'l Community to
stop Indian atrocities in IOK, rightly said that 'use of brute force against innocent Kashmiris,
who refused to participate in the sham elections, cannot suppress their human urge of
freedom. ' Harrowing staries from Indian occupied Kashmir continue to raise concerns in
Pakistan.
Last week, Indian Home Minister claimed that Indian governrncnt will control the si tuation
within a year and showed his determination to do with whatcver it takcs.
The important developments that have followed this warning arc:
Operation against Educational Institutions: Indian occupation forces have launched an all out
war on Kashmiri students. They have attacked women education institutions as well. A dozen
colleges have been attacked, injuring thousands of students - bath boys and girls. It is
pertinent to mention that almost all the Kashmiris, who have becn slain by the occupation
authorities in IOK, were students - a large number of them with Mastcrs degrees in science or
social sciences.
Open vio lation of human rights: Displaying complete disregard for the UN Charter and
International Covenant and Conventions and challenging the International Community.
Recently, 'leaked' several videos, openly showing use of htm1an shield, beating, abusing and
humiliating Kasluniris in the loK by the occupation forces, is a manifestation.
Social Media is being banned to ensure that 'reports of crimes against humanity committecl by
lndian occupation forces do not go out of IOK.
lndian brutalities, murder and blinding could not deter Kashmiri pro-freeclom struggle and
spirit. We remain committed to extending our unflinching moral, political and diplomatie
support to the Kashmiris.
Visits of dignitaries and high-level delegations from various countries and International
ANNEX 9
forums continued. We have kept you updated on the outcome through press releases.
Now the Floor is open for Questions
Question
I want to ask you this question that Indian spy and terrori st, who was arrested from Pakistan -
Commander Kulbhushan Jhadev, bis case has been thoroughly fo llowed by the Indian
Government and media to the extent that they have summonecl our cliplomats. I want to ask
that we had huge tragedy Lhat was of Samjhauta Express terrorist attack in 2007. It was a big
terrorist activity. Did our diplomatie mission approach or Foreign Office summoned any
Inclian diplomat in this regard? So, that they share with us detai1s of the investigations and
punishments to RSS terrorists, Swami Aseemanand and Col. Purohit. When will they be
sentenced and what is the status of their case or has it been set aside? (Sheeba Mahar - Daily
SAMAA)
Supplementary Question
Indian Ministry of External Aff airs has summoned Pakistani Deputy High Commissioner and
they have protested on the death sentence of Kulbhushan Jhadev. They have also requested
for the Consular access. What is your take on this? (Tariq Sial - Daily Times)
Answer
I think I have been briefing you people on the efforts that we are putting in to get the
information about the Samjhauta Express terrorist attack. You have rightly pointed out that. ·
We have taken up this issue but I need to check back. I caimot give you response off-the-cuff
whether we have summoned anyone from the Indian High Commission ai1d if we did so,
when? I need to note this question and we can get back to you with a reply. Your question
was specific to the summoning aspect and as to what we have done, so far. We did take up
the issue of Samjhauta Express terrorist attack on munerous occasions with Indian leadership
as well as through diplomatie channels seeking information of proceedings of the
investigations into that terrorist attack. Swami Assemai1and, who was the Mastermind, made
a confession in 2010, if I recall correctly. He also identified Col Purohit, who was then
serving Indian army officer, who was also the head of a terrorist organization, Abhinath
Bharat. He was an accomplice in the Samjhauta Express terrorist attack. Samjhauta terrorist
attack was not the only terrorist attack but there were many other which were identified by
SM Muslu·if who was IG of Maharashtra and he wrote a book entitled: 'Who Killed Karkare. '
The book reflects as to how RSS, in connivance with IB and other government institutions
and organizations have remained involved in a number of terrorist attacks, which they carried
out themselves or staged in India and blamed on others including Pakistan.
I will check what the answer on yom question and get back to you. Mr. Tariq you have
mentioned about summoning of our Deputy High Commissioner on the issue related to
Commander Kulbhushan. As he was summoned definitely to convey their reaction but this is
not something new they did, it was a reaction after award of the death sentence to the
Commander Kulbhushan, who is a spy and he made confessions that he was involved in
ANNEX 9
tenor financing, subversive and terrorist activities in Pakistan besides bcing a spy and
indulging in espionage. Then regarding consular access we have said this earlier also that we
have bilateral agreement on consular access and according to A11 IV, in al! such cases as the
one of Commander Kulbhushan the request of this nature would be decided on the basis of
merits.
Question
India has decided to put all bilateral interactions on hold over the death sentence to
Commander Kulbhushan Jhadev. The meeting betwcen Pakistan Maritime Security Agency
and Indian Coast Guard which were postponed and even release of Pakistani prisoners who
have completed sentences has been withheld. How do you see the Indian reaction to save a
terrorist who has contèssed to all his committed crimes? (Amjad Ali = PTV)
Supplementary Question
My question is regarding the sentence awarded to Kulbhushan Jhadev that the Indian media is
saying that it is violation of Vienna Convention Art. 36 that he is nol being given Consulat·
Access. What is your take on this? My second question is that as summer season starts in
Pakistan, foreign tourists will start coming to Pakistan for hiking and mountaineering. Has
there been a special desk established in our missions for promoting tourism in Pakistan? (Fida
Hussain - Radio News Network)
Answer
First the second question regarding tourism. There is a comprehensive policy for promoting
tourism. In this regard guidelines are provided from time to time to the Pakistan miss ions
abroad. There are different types of tourism such as 'Sightseeing', students of history corne
and see the historical places or heritage of Pakistan. There are set guidelines for issuing visas
for trekking and mountaineering. For that activity there are authorized tour operators and
those who facilitate trekkers and mountaineers. The contacts and website details of
authorized people, who can arrange these expeditions, are available online and also our
Missions Abroad. Those who are seeking to corne to Pakistan for tourism may get the
information from those sources.
Asto yom second question about Commander Jhadev, who is rcsponsiblc for espionage,
sabotage and terrorism in Pakistan, was tried according to the la w of the land, in a full y
transparent manner while preserving his rights, as per the Constitution of Pakistan. His
sentence is based on credible, specific evidence proving his involvement in espionage and
terrorist activities in Pakistan, resulting in the loss of scores of precious lives of Pa!<istanis.
The reaction from lndia, especially withholding the release of Pakistani prisoners, who have
completed their sentences, for a spy and terrorist working against Pakistan's national
interests, is disappointing. Inflammatory statements ernanating Crom India are against
international norms and will only result in escalation, serving no constructive purpose. Indian
reaction should be seen in the backdrop of exposme of its state involvement in perpetraLing
subversive and terrorist activities in Pakistan.
ANNEX 9
I would once again tmderscore the point that Indian reactîon must be seen in the backdrop of
its exposure of involvemcnt in terrorism and terror-financing in Pakistan.
Question
Prime Minister of Azad Jammu & Kashmir has asked the government of Pakistan to convince
the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to carry out economic blockade of India because of
rising atrocities in IoK. Will Pakistan take any initiative in this regard? (Khawaja Nayaar
Iqbal - Kashmir Post)
Answer
OIC has always extencled its unequivocal support to the Kashmiris for their right to selfdetermination
in accordance with UN Sccurity Council resolutions. There is also an OIC
Contact Group on Kashmîr.
Recently, a high ranking delegation oflndependent Permanent Human Rights Commission
(IPHRC) of OIC visited Pakistan and AJK from 27 to 29 March 2017. Regrettably, they were
den.ied access by India in Indian occupied Kashm.ir. Their visit enabled them to get a clearer
tmderstanding of what was happening in Kashmir. Pakistan openly welcomed the delegation,
and during their 3-day stay they met family members of victims of Indian atrocities.
Moreover, OIC Secretary General also visited Pakistan recently and expressed deep concern
over Indian brutalîties and gross human rights violations in IoK.
The Government of Pakistan will continue to approach the international community including
OIC and UN to bring to their notice the grave situation prevailing in IoK. We remain
committed to extending moral, political and diplomatie support to oppressed Kashmiris in
IoK, who must be given their legitimate right to self-determination, in accordance with the
relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.
We remind the international community that much revered values of humanity, justice,
freedom and international human rights must not be compromised for the political or
economic expediencies.
Question
Fresh videos of Indian atrocities in IoK have come to fore which exposed the honible
practices of Indian occupation forces in Indian occupied Kashmir against the defenceless
Kashmiris. Voices within India, including its media, have raised voice against these ghastly
instances. Your comments please ! Has Pakistan taken up this issue internationally also?
(Shahid Maitla - ARY News)
Answer
The Indian brutalities have intensified, especially since 8 July 20 16. The popular and
ANNEX 9
indigenous demand for their right to self-determination bas further intensified in the wake of
brutalities unleashed by the Indian occupation forces. Hundrcds of thousands of Kaslm1iris
have tlu·onged to the streets in IOK, pcacefully demanding their inalienable right to selfdetermination.
The Indian occupation forces have been using live ammunition and pellet gLms
against the protesters, as a result of which more than 200 civilians have been killed so far,
and aroLmd 20,000 injured. The Indian occupation forces have mass blinded the Kasluniri
youth, including women and children, by deliberately targeting their eyes with pellet gun
shots. This is the first incident of mass blinding in human history as rightly pointed out in a
British daily, The Guardian's 12-page article published on 8 Nov. 20 16, which said: 'There is
no recorded instance of a modern democracy systematically and willf11lly shooting at people
to blind them.'
We strongly condenm the Indian barbarities in IoK and call uponr the international
community including the UN to take immediate notice of the gross human rights violations.
Question
Afghan Ambassador Zakhilwal hinted that a joint operation against TTP leader Mullah
Fazlullah could be possible in near future. I-Ias the Afghan side officially contaeted Pakistan
in this regard? Have they shared information about the whereabouts of TTP leadership? Has
Afghanistan also extended such cooperation to hunt top leadership of JuA, especially after
surrender of former TTP Spokesman Ehsan Ullah Ehsan?
Secondly, what is your reaction on North Korea's recent missile tests? (Essa Naqvi - Dunya
News)
Answer
Asto your first question, Pakistan has been stating that thcre me hideouts of JuA and TTP in
Afghanistan from where they continue to launch attacks in Pakistan. We have urged the
Afghan Government to take action against these terrorists.
On your second question, Pakistan regrets that DPRK continues to undertake actions in
violation of its international obligations under the relevant UNSC resolutions. Pakistan
expresses grave concern at the recent missile launches carried out by DRPK.
Question
First there are 50 Pakistanis detained in Libya, holding legal passports and Visas. According
to information, six persans are in Massada, seven are in Karak and so on. Our embassy is
helpless in their release. There is deplorable condition of our ernbassy there is no officer
there, i t is run by grade 15 officer.
Secondly, in Afghanistan mother of all bombs was dropped, was there a Pakistani or Taliban
terrorist killed, has info been shared with us? (Abbas Yawar - Urdu Express)
ANNEX 9
Supplementary Question
ln Afghanistan mother of ail bombs was dropped, was there any environmental impact on
Pakistan? (Anwar Abbas Waqt News)
Answer
Asto Mr. Abbas Yawar's firsr question, I don't have information on this particular case of 50
detainees as of now. I have noted your specific query but let me reflect on the issue of
Pakistanis' welfare abroad as a malter of policy. Pakistani living or working in a foreign
country are required to follow the local laws. They are usually arrested when found in
violation of the local laws. If there is an Embassy, it is our responsibility, which we :fulfill,
whenever we receive a report about detention of any Pakistani in any crime, we approach and
request the host government to get the crime for which he or she is detained. And accordingly
we take up the case with that government. The procedme also involves ascertaining of the
person's antecedents whether he or she is a Pakistani or not.
Question
After the "do more" rhetoric of Obama Administration and the mounting pressme on
Pakistan, do you think that the Trump Admini stration's policies towards Pakistan are any
different from his predecessor? (Ayaz Gui - VOA)
Supplementary Question
Since the American Administration is increasingly concerned about terrorist activities, and its
debilitating effect in the region, did Pakistan rai se up the issue of Kulbhushan Yadav with the
visiting US NSA, since his case is a testimony to India's active involvement in state terrorism
and terror financing in Pakistan? (Tariq Mahmood - SAlvlAA TV)
Answer
This was the .first high level visit from Trump Administration to Pakistan. It reflected the high
impo1tance the new adminish·ation attaches toits relations with Pakistan. We had issued the
press release on the outcome of the visit. The larger context of the meeting was to reflect on
the regional situation, with particular reference to situation in Afghanistan, and how Pakistan
and the US could address the situation in Afghanistan together, and bring lasting peace to the
region. The question of Kashmir in the context of Pakistan-India relations was also discussed,
as the situation bas raised concerns a.cross the world. Pakistan wishes to build its relations
with the new administration and on the basis of existing solid foundation, we want to take it
the next levels.
As far as recognition of Pakistan's efforts towards fight against terrorisrn is concerned, the US
and the entire world at various levels of political leadership have time and aga.in recognized
Pakistan's contributions, sacrifices and economic lasses in the fight against terrorism. We
draw no distinction, and have taken action against all types of terrorists, the manifestation of
ANNEX 9
which is the improved security and economic situation in the country.
The US Commanders and Senior army personnel, who visited Pakistan recently and visited
those areas in Pakistan that were previously considered terrorist infested areas, lauded
Pakistan's gains made in its fight against terrorism. Not only did they leave satisfied, but they
also made their views public.
Question
Indian media reported that US National Security Adviser I-1.R McMaster after talks with
Afghan leaders in Kabul, has called on regional countrics, including Russia and Pakistan, not
to support the Afghan Taliban. Did he raise the issue and what was Pakistan's response?
(Saima Shabbir - Bol News)
Answer
The purpose of McMaster's visit to Afghanistan and Pakistan was to gain perspective on
peace and stability in Afghanistan as the Trump Admini stration is presently undertaking its
review of the Afghan policy. In this regard, the two si des had a constructive ex change of
views. Afghanistan, Pakistan and the US have a shared interest in promoting peace in
Afghanistan.
Question
Reportedly, Prime Ministers of Pakistan and India may meet on the sidelines of SCO Summit
despite the hostile environment between the two countries. Do you foresee any likelihood of
such a meeting, as it is being said that the US leadership is pushing for such a meeting?
(Asghar Ali Mubarak - Daily Mail Islamabad)
Answer
There is nothing on the table yet as SCO Summit is almost two months away. Nevertheless,
we have consistently maintained that meaningfül, result oriented dialogue, sustainable and
constructive engagement to address al! outstanding issues, particularly Kashmir dispute, is
the only way forward. Hostility and escalation benefits none.
Question
Dming US NSA McMaster's talks in the Foreign Office, the subject of Daesh was raised, as
we have seen several arrests in the past few days to this effect. My question is that we have
previously said that Daesh has no footprint in Pakistan. However, there are these arrests
especially on the Pak-Afghan border what steps are Pakistan taking to tackle this issue?
(Naveed Akbar - Daily Dunya)
ANNEX 9
Answer
I have said this previously also that there is no organized presence of Daesh in Pakistan.
What you are referring to are sporadic instances of a few volunteers who either do it for
money or profiling. As far as the presence of Daesh in Afghanistan is concerned, it has been
confirmed by the UN and US Commander John Nicholson in their recent reports. This is a
matter of growing concern for many countries in the region, and has been a central issue at
the recent meeting on Afghanistan in Moscow. There is a common concern that Daesh and
other terrorist outfits are coming together and gaining foothold in Afghanistan and
endangering regional peace and stability. Regional countries are mindful and considering
ways to tackle the issue.
Question
In the case of kidnapped Colonel Habib Zahir we have heard reports about Indian
involvement in the matter. Has Pakistan forrnally taken up the matter with India? (Saad Umar
- Roze News)
Answer
As regards your question, you are aware that Lt. Colonel Retired Mohammad Habib Zahir
has been missing since 6 April 20 17 from Lumbini, Nepal where he went for a job interview.
In view of the revelations about the fake emails and website he was contacted from, we
cannot rule out foul play by hostile agencies in his disappearance. The govenunent of
Pakistan has taken up the matter of his disappearance with the Nepal Government with the
request to trace him. An FIR each has also been lodged both in Islamabad and in Nepal.
We have also shared additional information with the Nepal govemment on 18 April
2017about the individuals who reportedly received him at Lumbini, made his hotel
reservations and booked his tickets which we believe may be helpful in locating him. His
family is very distressed and we hope that be is located at the earliest.
Question
What is the outcome of the Moscow talks? Is the Afghan Taliban also the part of it?
Secondly, Wall Street Journal has rep01ted that Pakistan has deployed five thousand troops
on Saudi-Yemen border and it will also fight against the rebels in Yemen. Has Pakistan
changed its policy Yemen? (Ali Husnain - Business Recorder)
Answer
As to your second question, this is a media report and does not warrant any response.
Regarding the Moscow talks, it was about the situation in Afghanistan, and 11 countries
paiticipated in the talks including Afghanistan. There was a consensus that all participating
ANNEX 9
countries were concerned about the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan,
particularly the growing presence of terrorist outfits, including Daesh in Afghanistan, and its
implications on regional peace and stability. This also figured in Moscow talks. Paiticipating
countries discussed that there is urgent need to deal with the security situation in Afghanistan.
The outcome was a common concern and understanding as to how the situation in
Afghanistan should be dealt with.
Question
Whether a Pakistani Parliamentary delegation plans a visit to Afghanistan? (Rabia - Radio
Mashaal)
Answer
I need to check the details.
