Kulbhushan Jadhav case: 'We made a mistake', says Pak media after ICJ order

The Dawn says Pakistan's refusal to accept ICJ's jurisdiction in the matter was "weak and damaging"

Media houses in Pakistan seemed to be questioning the stance of their government after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Thursday stayed the order of a Pakistani military court to execute former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav over charges of alleged spying.

Pakistan’s The Dawn newspaper published an article “We made a mistake: Criticism at home over ICJ decision”, saying the government’s statement that it would not accept ICJ’s jurisdiction in the matter was “weak and damaging”.

Calling the ICJ order on Jadhav a setback, many news channels and websites across the border described Pakistan’s approach at the ICJ
