Jadhav was involved in terror activities, Pakistan tells ICJ

LAHORE: A petition was filed on Friday to initiate a treason case against deposed premier Nawaz Sharif for violating the oath of his office, ARY News reported. 

According to details, a petitioner moved Lahore High Court against Sharif on charges of treason, as his anti-state interview to a national daily was employed by India against Pakistan during the case hearing of Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav.

A day earlier, the controversial interview of three-time prime minister, given to Dawn newspaper in May 2018, was craftily used as a proof by the Indian judge at International Court of Justice (ICJ).

The petition contended that Sharif’s statements weakened the case of Pakistan at the international court. “The interview, published in a private newspaper, is an embarrassment for the country in the world,” it added.
