New Delhi/Islamabad: The government will make a statement in the Lok Sabha on Thursday on the treatment meted out by Pakistan to the family members of Kulbhushan Jadhav, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj said on Wednesday
Meanwhile, Pakistan is investigating the ‘shoes’ of Jadhav’s wife who visited him this week for an unprecedented meeting, officials said on Wednesday.

Pakistan foreign office spokesperson Dr Mohammed Faisal said, “We do not wish to indulge in a meaningless battle of words. Our openness and transparency belies these allegations. If Indian concerns were serious, the guests or the Indian DHC (Deputy High Commissioner J.P. Singh) should have raised them during the visit, with the media, which was readily available, but at a safe distance, as requested by India,” he added.

Dr Faisal said, “The fact is that Commander Jadhav s mother publicly thanked Pakistan for the humanitarian gesture and this was recorded by the media.”
India objected to the seizure of shoes of Jadhav’s wife ahead of the Monday meeting, which has created suspicion on whether there was anything unusual found in them.
