In our response, we have conveyed that the wife of Jadhav would like to travel with her mother-in-law for the meeting. We also sought sovereign guarantee from the government of Pakistan to ensure safety and security of both. Also, during their stay in Pakistan, they should not be questioned, harassed.
Kumar stated that India has also requested for an Indian diplomat from the High Commission in Pakistan to accompany them at all times and even visit them during the meetings.
