Kasab was just a pawn, Kulbhushan bigger terrorist: Musharraf

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan’s former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf has called alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav a bigger criminal than 26/11 Mumbai attack perpetrator Ajmal Kasab. Asserting that Jhadav was involved in espionage and sabotage activities, Musharraf said that the former was a bigger criminal than Ajmal Kasab.

“Kasab was just a pawn but Jhadav was fueling terrorism and may have killed a number of people in sabotage activities,” Musharraf said.

Speaking about the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) temporary stay of the execution of Jadhav, Musharraf said that Pakistan should not have even appeared in the court as it is a matter of national security. “None has the right to dictate us about our security,” he said.

A day after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) stayed the death sentence awarded to former Indian Naval officer and alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav by the Pakistan military court, Islamabad on Friday filed a plea in the Hague to rehear the case within six weeks.
