India committed grave mistake by moving ICJ: Markandey
NEW DELHI: Former Indian Supreme Court judge justice Markandey Katju remarked that India committed a serious mistake by approaching International Court of Justice.In a Facebook post he said that people are gloating over India’s victory before the International Court of Justice regarding Kulbhushan Jadav. My own opinion is that it was a serious mistake for India to go to the ICJ on this issue.
He mentioned that we have played into Pakistan’s hands and given it a handle to open up many other issues. In fact that is why it seems that Pakistan did not seriously object to the jurisdiction of ICJ.
Now it is certain that Pakistan will approach the ICJ for deciding the Kashmir dispute and it will then hardly lie in our mouth to object to the jurisdiction of ICJ.
He remarked that Pakistan must be quite happy that India approached ICJ. Pakistan must be very happy that we went to the ICJ over a single individual’s fate as now they can raise all kinds of issues particularly Kashmir at International Forum to which we had always objected till now. By going to the ICJ we may have opened up a Pandora’s Box, he added.
