A day after military court in Pakistan awarded death sentence to alleged Indian spy, Kulbhushan Jadhav, Congress raised the issue in Lok Sabha and slammed Prime Mim Narendra Modi for not speaking on the issue. Memebers of Lok Sabha raised the issue in the parliament and condemned the death sentence while urging the Indian government to take action against the death sentence.
Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge lashed out at PM Narendra Modi and asserted that if Prime Minitser can attend Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s grand daughters wedding then why could he not speak to Pakistan against Kulbhushan Jadhav’s death sentence. He further said if Kulbhushan Singh is hanged to death it will be regarded as pre-planned murder and that it would be major failure on the government’s part if they fail to save him.
