ISLAMABAD: Khawar Qureshi, the lawyer representing Pakistan in the Indian spy Kulbushan Jadhav case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), remarked that ICJ will neither release the spy nor acquit him.

Speaking to the media after holding a meeting over the high-profile case with Attorney General Ashtar Ausaf Ali, he remarked ?the commander Jadhav case is a very clear case. Commander Jadhav can never be released or acquitted. You are making something out of nothing.?

He also advised the media officials to ?behave responsibly? and ?give Pakistani officials the respect they deserve.?

He added, ?Foreign Office will be giving you a much more detailed press statement soon.?

Earlier, the lawyer had remarked that India wrongly claimed victory after the ICJ temporarily stayed the death sentence of Jadhav. He had explained that the problem seems to be that this case is more about political point scoring than about the law.
