    What's the story

    Pakistan's foreign office spokesman Muhammad Faisal has said the alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav "is under no threat of immediate execution" as his mercy petitions are still pending.

    He said Jadhav will also be allowed to meet his wife and mother at the foreign affairs ministry's office.

    Reportedly, Jadhav will meet them on December 25.

    Here's more about it.

    11 Nov 2017

    Pakistan agrees to let Kulbhushan Jadhav's wife visit him

    On November 11, Pakistan offered to arrange a meeting between Kulbhushan Jadhav and his wife.

    Pakistan's Foreign office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal said the decision, taken "purely on humanitarian grounds," was conveyed to Indian authorities.

    This could lead to Jadhav's first meeting with his family since his imprisonment 20-months-ago.

    A Pakistani military court had sentenced Jadhav to death in April on espionage charges.

    Who?

    Who is Kulbhushan Jadhav?

    Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav, a Mumbai native is believed to be a Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) agent.

    A Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Navy, he is said to have sought retirement in 2013 to start his own business.

    At the time of his arrest at the Iran-Pakistan border in March 2016, he held an Indian passport in the name of Hussein Mubarak Patel.

    Background

    Kulbhushan Jadhav case: What has happened so far?

    April 2016: Pakistan arrests Jadhav on suspected involvement in espionage activities.

    April 2017: Jadhav receives a death sentence for waging war against Pakistan; Islamabad denies India's 16th request for consular access.

    May 2017: Ruling in India's favor, International Court of Justice orders Pakistan to stay Jadhav's execution until further notice.

    June 2017: Islamabad conveys it won't execute Jadhav until all mercy appeals are exhausted.

    Statement

    Pakistan: 'Ready to permit Jadhav's interaction with wife/mother'

    "Pakistan is ready to permit media interaction with the wife and mother of Commander Jadhav. We await Indian decision in this regard," said Faisal.

    He added: "Let me assure you that the Commander is under no threat of immediate execution..."

    "The decision to allow him to meet his family members was taken in the light of Islamic traditions and based on purely humanitarian grounds."
