“He was arrested on Mar 3 final year. He faced hearing for both espionage and sabotage. And self-assurance was announced. There was zero capricious or dainty about it. Even Pakistanis guilty of such offences are condemned to death,” he forked out.

“The Vienna Convention doesn’t take dominance over a domestic laws. We do have a bi-lateral agreement on consular entrance that clearly stipulates that in such security-related cases, entrance would be motionless on merit.

“Mumbai is distant some-more formidable than Samjhauta. It is required that there is full team-work between a dual countries. We are now watchful for a 24 Indian witnesses to go to Pakistan and be examined. We are in hold with India though we need Indian authorities to concur fully. We can’t do it unilaterally,” he added.

“We strongly trust there should be no pre-conditions for talks. We can always come adult with a possess conditions though we can’t live in feeling forever,” a attach� said.
