Kulbhushan Jadhav has been sentenced to death by a Pakistan military court for allegedly spying and stoking violence in Balochistan. He was reportedly arrested in March last year in Balochistan, for allegedly being an Indian spy responsible for fuelling Baloch separatist movement. Over the last year, the case of Kulbhushan Jadhav has witnessed several twists and turns.
While the Pakistani government has repeatedly alleged Jadhav is a Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) agent, India had been denying the charges, calling the death sentence a “pre-planned murder”.
Apart from Salim Khan, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has also expressed his views on the issue and said that Indian should get united to bring Kulbhushan Jadhav back. He wrote on Twitter, “Why are Liberals & Activist who cry over #HumanRights of terrorists, silent on #KulbhushanJadhav? India should be united to bring him back.”
