ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has conveyed to India that consular access cannot be provided to Kulbushan Yadav.

Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua categorically expressed these views during a meeting with Indian High Commissioner Gautam Bambawale, who called on her in Islamabad on Wednesday.

The Indian high commissioner repeatedly demanded consular access to Kulbushan Yadav.

The foreign secretary while referring to legal aspects of the case, said that Yadav was a serving Indian naval officer, who was involved in nefarious terrorist activities in Pakistan.

She said that Yadav had confessed to his crimes and the court had sentenced him according to rule of law.

Janjua told Indian envoy that Islamabad and New Delhi have a pact to give consular access to prisoners and not to spies.
