India has more than sufficient proofs to convince global community about unfair trial to Indian citizen Kulbhushan Jadhav in Pakistan where a military court of Pakistan has ordered death-sentence for him. Stopping release of Pakistani prisoners will in no way be pressurising Pakistan to go ahead with its plan to murder Kulbhushan Jadhav bypassing all international norms of trial. It may be recalled that after 1971 war, India could not afford to keep about one lakh Pakistani soldiers who had surrendered before Indian army.
India gave every opportunity to 26-11 culprit Abdul Kasab for legal assistance for a fair trial in Indian courts. India also spent huge money for his security and physical safety till he was finally hanged to death after a fair trial perfectly according to international norms, while there are notorious examples of deaths in suspicious circumstances of Indian prisoners Kirpal Singh, Kishor Bhagwan, Chamel Singh and Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan jails.
Only practical remedy to save Kulbhushan Jadhav is that Indian government may immediately approach UNO to take out Kulbhushan Jadhav out of Pakistan in any other country if not in India. India even allowed Italian marines to live in their country even during their trial for murder in India. It is on record that Pakistan Prime Minister in December 2016 in Pakistan Senate had himself declared that sufficient proofs are not available against Kulbhushan Jadhav. Moreover Pakistan also did not follow international norms to allow legal assistance to a national by constellate-general of that country. Even global super-powers can be alerted on the aspect to avoid murder of Kulbhushan Jadhav in Pakistan either by authorities themselves or through others including prisoners there.
