Pakistan on Friday offered to arrange a meeting between Kubhushan Jadhav, an Indian national sentenced to death by a military court for alleged involvement in espionage, and his wife on humanitarian grounds. The meeting would be arranged “in Pakistan, purely on humanitarian grounds”, the statement said without giving further details. The Pakistan government has so far not responded to a request made in April by Jadhav’s mother, Avantika Jadhav, to meet her son. The Pakistan Army said last month it is close to a decision on the mercy petition submitted by Jadhav. The army chief had earlier confirmed Jadhav’s death sentence after a court martial found him “guilty of all charges”.
