Rejecting New Delhi’s brouhaha over the death sentencing of
an Indian spy, Foreign Office Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said on Saturday that
India stands totally exposed on the issue of terror financing and perpetrating
subversive acts in Pakistan.
A Pakistani military court has recently sentenced Kulbushan
Jadhav – an Indian national– to death on charges of espionage.

Talking to Radio Pakistan on Saturday, Zakaria
said that India was perpetrating subversive acts of terrorism in Pakistan in
spite of deceptively denouncing it on the global front.
“India has been blowing the trumpet on the issue of
terrorism since long but the fact is that the country’s intelligence agency
itself is involved in terrorism,” he stressed.
Jadhav was an agent of Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), the
primary foreign intelligence agency of India, and a serving officer of the
Indian Navy, said the FO spokesperson.
“The [RAW] agent has been awarded death sentence after a due
judicial process,” he restated.
Meanwhile, the Indian government has decided to put on hold
all bilateral exchanges with Pakistan in reaction to Jadhav death sentence.
The Times of India (TOI) has reported that India on
Friday called off talks between the two neighbouring countries on maritime
security which was scheduled to be held on April 17.

On Friday, Pakistan put up a strong defence for Jadhav’s
death sentence, revealing for the first time the full charge sheet as well as a
timeline of the proceedings against him.
Prime Minister’s Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz
strongly rebutted Indian allegations that Jadhav was not a spy and that due
process of law was not followed in his trial.
