Summary We do not wish to indulge in a meaningless battle of words, the FO spokesperson said.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan has categorically rejected the Indian baseless allegations and twists about the visit of the wife and mother of convicted Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav.
“The Indian baseless allegations and twists, that come 24 hrs later, about the visit of the wife and mother of Commander Jadhav, a convicted terrorist and spy, who has confessed to his crimes, are categorically rejected,” the Foreign Office stated in a press release.
“We do not wish to indulge in a meaningless battle of words. Our openness and transparency belies these allegations.”
“If Indian concerns were serious, the guests or the Indian DHC should have raised them during the visit, with the media, which was readily available, but at a safe distance, as requested by India,” the FO said.
The fact is that Commander Jadhav s mother publicly thanked Pakistan for the humanitarian gesture and this was recorded by the media.
Indian media created fuss over the seizure of shoes of Kulbhushan Jadhav’s wife ahead of the meeting with the RAW spy in Pakistan, which has created suspicion on whether there was anything unusual found in them.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) questioned on Tuesday that why the shoes of Jadhav’s wife, Chetankul, were not returned after the meeting.
On the same day, Islamabad responded that there was ‘something’ in the shoes of Jadhav’s wife, adding that her shoes were confiscated due to security reasons.
It was further told that she was given replacement shoes while all her jewellery was returned.
