India said on Tuesday that it regretted the way Pakistan conducted the meeting between Kulbhushan Jadhav and his family, asserting that it violated the letter and spirit of understandings, and raised questions over the health and well being of the Indian national.
"From the feedback we have received of the meeting, it appears that Jadhav was under considerable stress and speaking in an atmosphere of coercion," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said, a day after Jadhav's mother and
wife met him at the heavily guarded building of the Pakistani foreign office in Islamabad.
There was a glass screen between Jadhav and his family during the entire meeting and they spoke through an intercom device.
The MEA said most of Jadhav's remarks were "clearly tutored" and designed to perpetuate the false narrative of his activities in Pakistan.
"His appearance also raises questions over his health and well-being," it said.
