India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday said that Kulbhushan Jhadav should be represented by an Indian lawyer as Pakistan seeks to implement the International Court of Justice (ICJ) judgement of last year to review the case. MEA spokesperson Anurag Shrivastava, addressing a press conference, said, "We are in touch with Pakistan through diplomatic channels. We believe, for a free and fair trial in keeping with the letter and spirit of ICJ judgment in Kulbhushan Jhadav case, we have asked that Jadhav be represented by an Indian lawyer." In the month of May, Pakistan had come up with an ordinance to implement the ICJ verdict of last year. Pakistan had moved to Islamabad High Court asking the court to appoint a lawyer in the case.
