ICJ verdict: Kulbhushan Jadhav's family relieved
Mumbai: The moment International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Pakistan to halt Kulbhushan Jadhav’s death sentence, his friends and family members heaved a sigh of relief. However, they were quick to respond that they do not trust Pakistan and will have a big celebration only when Jadhav comes back home.
Jadhav’s uncle, Subhash Jadhav said, “We are really happy with decision. In fact, all Indians are happy. We are celebrating the decision but still we are afraid of Pakistan. We cannot trust them till Kulbhushan enters in India. We are now concerned about his life and nothing else. We have hopes that he will come back safely.”
Jadhav’s family used to stay on the fifth floor of Silver Oak apartment in Mumbai’s plush Powai area. However, the society’s watchman said that the family has moved out and the house is locked. The moment ICJ news broke out mediapersons thronged the locality. Around 50 local BJP workers also came and burst crackers outside Jadhav’s house. They shouted slogans of Bharat Mata ki Jai and Vande Mataram.
“The international court has taken a good decision, we are very happy. He was an Indian and not a terrorist, so what Pakistan did was illegal,” said a BJP worker.
His childhood friend Tulsidas Pawar said, “Wwe knew that India would win this case. After we heard the verdict, we broke into celebratory mode. We bought sweets and busted crackers.”
