He accused the Indian government of misusing the media to create a “false impression of winning” Jadhav's case in the ICJ. He said the Indian media, based on the reported briefing by

official quarters, called ICJ's letter dated 8 May 2017, the day India filed its petition, to the Pakistan government a "stay on Jadhav's execution". “This is a lie. The

ICJ noted that lie,” he claimed. Jadhav, 46, was, in April, sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of “involvement in espionage and sabotage activities” against the

country. The ICJ on 18 May stayed the execution of Jadhav.
