Srinagar: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday said that she was saddened by treatment meted out to the mother and wife of Indian ‘spy’ Kulbhusan Jadhav by Pakistan.
“Pakistan should take human attitude with Kulbhusan Jadhav and give him fair hearing,” Mehbooba tweeted.
“I am saddened by the treatment meted out to the Jadhav’s mother and wife by Pakistan. Humanity should be kept above politics,” she added.
پاکستان کُلبوشن جادو کے ساتھ انسانی رویہ اختیار کرے اور اُن کے کیس کی منصفانہ سماعت ہو۔پاکستان میں جادو کی ماں اور اہلیہ کے ساتھ ہوئے سلوک سے بہت دُکھ ہوا ۔انسانیت کوسیاست پر فوقیت ہونی چاہیے

The tweets drive sharp criticism from some netizens, ostensibly from Jammu and Kashmir, who likened it to treatment meted out to Kashmiri inmates in various jails of India and Afzal Guru, a man from north Kashmir’s Sopore who was hanged secretly out of turn to satisfy “collective conscience of India” and his body interred in Tihar Jail without even allowing his family last meeting with him.
“So according to you Kulbhoshan has human rights but those Kashmiries facing the brutalities of savage Indian army don’t have human rights?” replied a netizen. “Nero played the fiddle while Rome burned.”
Mahiha Shakeel Khan, another netizen responded: “Their terrorists have human rights where as our freedom fighters n (and) civilians do not come in definition of humans.. thr (their) double standards n brutalitues embarrass Hitler’s squad too.”
“Remember Afzal Guru of Kashmir…,” replied Mhmmd IRfan, another netizen.
