Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister
Mehbooba Mufti today asked Pakistan to adopt a humane approach
with Indian prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav and ensure his fair
trial.
Expressing sadness over the treatment meted out to
Jadhav's mother and wife during their recent visit to
Pakistan, she said humanity should be treated above politics.
Mehbooba made the statement in a tweet in Urdu on the
micro blogging site Twitter.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh and Roads
and Buildings Minister Naeem Akhtar also expressed displeasure
over the treatment with Jadhav's wife and mother in Pakistan.
"It is inhumanity of Pakistan. It played this game to
mislead the people and got exposed before the world," Singh
said.
"This is the reality of Pakistan, which does not believe
in humanity," he told reporters on the sidelines of the oath
taking function of Mehbooba's brother, Tassaduq Mufti who
along with PDP legislator Javaid Mustafa Mir were inducted
into the cabinet today.
Talking about repeated ceasefire violations by
Pakistan, he said, "We have made it clear that we will not
initiate firing from this side. But if such a thing happens
from Pakistan, it will be given a befitting reply."
"Humanitarian outreach should not be made a victim of
politics," Akhtar said.
