Why is Jadhav's video released by Pakistan?

Pakistan has released a new video of Kulbhushan Jadhav, the Indian citizen sentenced to death, on Thursday.

In this video, Jadhav could be heard saying that he came to visit himself and could see 'fear' in his mother and wife's eyes. He also accused the Indian officer accompanying his mother and wife to 'behave badly' with both of them.

India has dismissed this video as "Propaganda" by Pakistan.

Pakistan had arrested Kulbhushan Jadhav in March 2016 for espionage charges. A military court in Pakistan had sentenced him to death in April last year. In May last year, the International Court of Justice banned the sentence on India's appeal.

Question after questioning

Kulbhushan Jadhav's mother Avanti and his wife had met him on December 25 in Islamabad.

Then Pakistan had said that these meetings were done on the basis of humanitarian grounds. After that visit, Jadhav had released a video in which he was looking forward to thanking Pakistan.

But after this, India had alleged that Jadhav's mother and wife were repeatedly 'violated human rights' in Pakistan .

India had also questioned Jadhav's ability to succeed.

Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj had said in Parliament , "Pakistan has changed its meeting with her son and wife to her husband."

What are you saying in the video Jadhav?

In the video released on Thursday, Jadhav appears to be claiming that he is 'commissioned officer of the Indian Navy' and his commission is not yet complete.

Jadhav can be heard saying in the video that diplomats who accompanied his mother and wife were 'shouting' on them.

"It was a positive feeling that he felt happy, I could be happy and there was a person standing there who was screaming at them."

The Indian External Affairs Ministry rejecting this video said, "Pakistan is maintaining the practice of issuing videos of forcible statements."

Assessment of BBC Urdu correspondent Aaron Rashid-

There are two reasons for this video to be released.

One is that perhaps the Pakistan government has forced him to make such a statement, because in Pakistan, what happened to his family and who also accused India of not treating him properly, he would try to answer her Might be possible.

The second reason is that it may be that Kulbhushan may be seeking his mother who told him about the situation and after that, he himself would like to talk like this.

When this thing goes to the benefit of the Pakistan government, they release another video.

The last two videos and the difference that I have seen in this video is that they are speaking this in themselves. Did not mean there was no taught taught script. They were speaking themselves and someone was recording them.

Now it has to be seen that which was the reason why both of them were released so soon their video was released.

It does not seem that Pakistan has any advantage in releasing such videos. The more videos they will appear, the lesser their importance will be.

But the controversy arose after Kulbhushan Jadhav's visit to his family, perhaps he has tried to answer them.

I do not think that any further video will come out soon after this.
