Earlier in the day, the International Court of Justice issued its verdict in Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav’s case and rejected most of the remedies sought by India.
The court, in its verdict, rejected a number of Indian demands including annulment of military court decision convicting Jadhav, his release and safe passage to India.
The court, however, directed Pakistan to provide effective review and reconsideration of his conviction and sentences according to its own justice system.
The court had reserved its judgement in the case back in February.
