Kulbhushan Jadhav has become a tool in the hands of Pakistan to score points over India (“Pak releases Jadhav video, India terms it propaganda”, January 5). Every opportunity is being used to show India in a bad light by using Mr. Jadhav as a pawn. Whatever pressure we seem to be exerting on Pakistan to try to free him is proving to be of little use. When loud diplomacy has failed, it is time to explore whether other means such as back channels or third party diplomacy would be of use. Perhaps we can work out a mutually acceptable solution to the problem. This is a humanitarian issue that concerns a person’s life and we should keep politics out of it.

Why would an Indian official behave in an indecorous manner with the family of Mr. Jadhav? Having been castigated for its inhuman treatment of the visitors who just wanted to have some time with a dear son/husband, Pakistan is now making futile attempts to extricate itself from its self-created ignominy. Instead of tying itself in knots by continuing to manufacture lies, Islamabad would do well to realise that the world has seen through its duplicity. It should quickly search for an honourable way to release Mr. Jadhav without damaging its image any further.
