Cong welcomes ICJ verdict, but says Jadhav vulnerable to 'miscarriage of justice' by Pak

The Congress on Wednesday welcomed the International Court of Justice verdict in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case, but said the Indian national's safety is unaddressed and he remains "vulnerable" to another "miscarriage of justice" by Pakistan.

The International Court of Justice has ruled that Pakistan must review the death sentence for Jadhav, who has been sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of "espionage and terrorism".

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said she was "heartened by the Kulbhushan Verdict.

"At last justice has prevailed. All of India joins his family in their joy!" she said.

Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, in a series of tweets, said: "We welcome and celebrate the decision of the ICJ in holding Pakistan to be in stark violation of Article 36 of the Vienna Convention and staying the illegally ordered execution of Kulbhushan Jadhav! Satyamev Jayate!"
