New Delhi/Islamabad, July 1 (PTI): India again asked Pakistan on Saturday to grant full and early consular access to its national Kulbhushan Jadav, who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court in April. India made its request as the two countries exchanged lists of prisoners lodged in each other’s jails. ”India again requested Pakistan to grant full and early consular access to the Indian nationals lodged in the custody of Pakistan, including Hamid Nehal Ansari and Kulbhushan Jadav,” the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement in Delhi. ”India once again requests Pakistan for the early release and repatriation of Indian prisoners, missing Indian defence personnel and fishermen along with their boats whose nationality has been confirmed by India,” the MEA said. It said India remains committed to address on priority all humanitarian matters with Pakistan, including those pertaining to prisoners and fishermen.
