ISLAMABAD, Dec 8 - Kulbhushan Jadhav will be allowed to meet his wife and mother on December 25, Pakistan announced today, nearly eight months after he was sentenced to death by a military court on charges of espionage and terrorism.
Jadhav, 47, was sentenced to death by the court in April. The International Court of Justice in May had halted his execution on India�s appeal.
Jadhav has been allowed to meet his wife and mother on December 25, Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Faisal said. �We have conveyed the decision to India,� he said.
During his weekly news briefing, the spokesman said a staff member from the Indian High Commission will also be present during the meeting that will take place in Islamabad.
Faisal also said that a �diplomat from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad will be allowed to accompany the visitors.�
He also said that �requisite security would be provided to the visitors� during their stay in Pakistan.
Earlier on November 10, Pakistan had agreed to allow Jadhav�s wife to meet him.
India has been pressing Pakistan to grant a visa to Jadhav�s mother, Avantika, on humanitarian ground.
In New Delhi, the External Affairs Ministry welcomed the move. � PTI
