Islamabad: Amid warnings form India, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa agreed on Wednesday not to bow to any pressure over the death sentence awarded to alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadav.
Sama TV quoted an official source as saying that the Army chief called on Sharif and took him “into confidence regarding … Jadhav”.
