India has reiterated its demand for consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav and Hamid Nehal Ansari, both currently in custody in Pakistan, as the two countries exchanged lists of prisoners being held in each other’s jails, reported the Indian media on Monday. Spy Jadhav is currently on death row after a military court gave him capital punishment for involvement in espionage. “We also await consular access to those Indian nationals in Pakistan’s custody for whom it has so far not been provided, including Kulbhushan Jadhav and Hamid Nehal Ansari,” said the statement of the Indian External Affairs Ministry. On Monday, India and Pakistan also exchanged the lists of nuclear installations and facilities covered under the bilateral Agreement on the Prohibition of Attack against Nuclear Installations, said the Hindustan Times. This was the 27th consecutive exchange of such lists between the two sides since 1992.
