Pak Rejects India's Demand For Queen's Counsel To Represent Kulbhushan Jadhav's Case

• Pakistan on Friday rejected India’s demand that an Indian lawyer or a Queen’s counsel should be appointed for death-row prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav to ensure a free and fair trial in this country.
• Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said, "India has been consistently making the “unrealistic demand” of allowing a lawyer from outside Pakistan to represent Jadhav." 
• He said, "We have informed India that only those lawyers are allowed to appear in Pakistani courts who have a license to practice law in Pakistan."
• "This is in line with international legal practice. There can be no change in this position,” he further added.
• Let us tell you, Pakistan parliament has extended the ordinance enabling Kulbhushan Jadhav to appeal the conviction.
