Even as Kulbhushan Jadhav met his mother and wife in Islamabad for the first time since his arrest on charges of espionage, a video was released that shows the former Indian Navy officer thanking the Pakistan government for the endeavor.
The brief video, which was released by the Pakistan foreign office, shows Jadhav saying, “I requested a meeting with my wife and mother and I am thankful to government of Pakistan for this gesture.” The video was recorded after Jadhav met his family members at the heavily guarded Foreign Affairs Ministry building.
The Pakistan government also released images of the 40-minute meeting that Jadhav had with his wife Chetna and mother Avanti. The images show Jadhav, wearing a navy blue suit, inside a small cabin speaking to his family through a glass screen.
