Pakistan's Attorney General to represent Jadhav case at ICJ

Islamabad: Pakistani Attorney General Ashtar Ausaf Ali would represent the country at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the case relating to alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, a media report said on Saturday.

Ausaf Ali on Saturday announced that he would represent Pakistan in the Jadhav case at the ICJ, Geo TV said.

Earlier, Khawar Qureshi represented Pakistan.

On Thursday, the ICJ ordered Pakistan to halt the execution of Jadhav until a final decision in the proceedings.

This comes after the Pakistan government was slammed by the opposition parties saying "the verdict was a huge setback".
