Nawaz Sharif's interview to a reporter was published by a prominent English newspaper of Pakistan.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Indian advocate Harish Salve recalled an interview of former premier Nawaz Sharif, which was published by a prominent English newspaper of Pakistan, as evidence that Sharif had acknowledged Pakistan’s role in 26/11 Mumbai attacks, during International Court of Justice (ICJ) hearing of the high-profile case of Indian Navy commander Kulbhushan Jadhav.
During the hearing, Salve mentioned Sharif’s interview to a reporter which was published by a prominent English newspaper of Pakistan.
“This interview has not been denied,” he said while placing it forward as evidence.
India has sought to rescue Indian Navy commander Kulbhushan Jadhav from the death sentence granted to him by Pakistan’s military court on the charges of espionage.
This has prompted several questions about the implications of the Sharif s interview given to the reporter including whether it was a conspiracy against Pakistan.
