Rajnath Singh rubbishes Pakistan's claim of fair trial to Kulbhushan

Kolkata: Home Minister Rajnath Singh today refuted Pakistan's claim of a fair trial being given to retired navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav and said all efforts were being made to secure justice for the Indian national.

"I do not agree with what Pakistan has said. Kulbhushan Jadhav did not get a fair trial," he told a press meet here.

"All efforts are being made to secure justice for Jadhav. We will do everything," he added.

Pakistan, earlier in the day, said the death sentence to Jadhav was based on "credible" and "specific" evidence that proved his involvement in spying and terror activities and that a more active diplomacy was needed to arrest the "growing crises" in the Indo-Pak ties.

Pakistan Prime Minister's Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said due process of law was followed in the trial of 46-year-old Jadhav.
