[DAWN] Pakistain will provide consular access on Monday to Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav who is being held on charges of espionage and terrorism, the Foreign Office said on Sunday.

Foreign Office spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal announced the decision via a post on Twitter.

"Consular access for Indian spy Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Indian naval officer, and RAW

operative is being provided on Monday, September 2, 2019, in line with Vienna Convention on Consular relations, ICJ judgment and the laws of Pakistain," he wrote.

"Commander Jadhav remains in Pakistain’s custody, for espionage, terrorism, and sabotage," he said in another tweet.

#1  He's not a RAW 'operative'. He's an idiot. Not that there aren't any idiots in the RAS.

Firstly, Kulbhushan is a hindu from Maharashtra, an unlikely deep cover asset. We don't use such a distinctly diverse ethnicity in the bloody 'Stain. It's like asking an Australian to infiltrate into Cameroon as a Sheik.

Secondly, these boys don't cross borders illegally. They generally travel executive-class into Pakistain and out. There are no 'wet-suit' incursions and late night LALO drops, just a fat, beady eyed, Paki traitor waiting to receive us at Jinnah International.

Lastly, if we want information from Pakistain, it's easier to buy it from the brass itself. Give 'em enough money and they'll sell their own citizens' organs.

Kulbhushan was ex-navy. He had a business with Iranian partners. Also, it's rather difficult for Indians with hindu names to do business there so he may have have faked some ID to get permits. He may have faced some difficulties with local mafias, approached some INT guy through his old navy contacts hoping to get RAW's protection. Whether he got it or not is immaterial. The Pakis may have misconstrued such a conversation for 'spying'. It's a stretch, the case.
