NEW DELHI: In a new video released by Pakistan on Monday, jailed Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav is seen thanking the country for the “grand gesture” of allowing him to meet his wife and mother, according to Times of India. “I requested a meeting with my wife and mother and I am thankful to the government of Pakistan for this grand gesture,” says Jadhav in the video shot purportedly before the meeting with his family. The meeting between Jadhav and his family was extended by 10 minutes after a request from the former, informed Foreign Office Spokesperson Mohammad Faisal. Faisal also brandished medical reports that purportedly showed that Jadhav was in “excellent healthy condition.”The meeting at the Pakistan foreign office, held 21 months after his arrest, happened across a glass barrier, with Jadhav on one side, and his wife and mother on the other. However, it is suspected that the meeting had more to do with the international pressure surrounding the case, than with any humanitarian considerations.
