India on Friday termed as an “imaginary lie and story” Pakistan’s foreign minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif’s claim that an offer was received to swap Indian prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav for a terrorist behind the Army Public School attack in Peshawar in 2014. Asif had claimed that an offer was received to swap Jadhav for a terrorist behind the Peshawar Army Public School attack in 2014, who, he (Asif) asserted, was now in Afghanistan’s custody. “The terrorist who killed children in APS (Army Public School) is in Aghan custody. The NSA told me we can exchange that terrorist with a terrorist we have, which is Kulbushan Jadhav,” Asif said on Tuesday. Jadhav, a former Indian Navy officer, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court for allegedly spying for India.
