Islamabad: Pakistan will forcefully defend its position in the Kulbhshan Jadhav case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on June 8, National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said on Wednesday.
The speaker chaired a meeting of Parliamentary Committee for National Security where Attorney General Ashtar Ausaf Ali and Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua briefed parliamentarians from different parties on the issue of Indian national Jadhav.
The lawmakers were told that the legal team was working on the case and will present its case with full vigour at the next hearing of the ICJ.
The lawmaker was informed that the Attorney General will also be part of the legal team that will plead Pakistan's case at the ICJ against Jadhav.
The speaker later told media that Pakistan will pursue Jadhav's case at the ICJ with full preparation on June 8.
He said the next meeting of the committee on the issue will be held on May 30 when the judicial process of the case will be discussed in more details.
Jadhav, 46, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of "involvement in espionage and sabotage activities" against the country.
The Pakistan government has come under a lot of criticism for its "mishandling" of the case at ICJ.
