The reason: A military court in Pakistan awarded the death sentence to Kulbhushan Jadhav on allegations of spying, upsetting our members of Parliament (MPs). Should anything happen to Jadhav, Pakistan should consider its consequences for our bilateral relationship. Here I must make it clear that the Kulbhushan Jadhav issue is more complicated than Sarabjit Singh’s case. A few weeks before Bajwa took over, the Indian army conducted a surgical strike in Pakistani territory. That’s why Bajwa didn’t think twice before giving a go-ahead to Jadhav’s sentence, even when he knew Jadhav was innocent.
