On Thursday, two officials from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad who were granted consular access for a second time to Jadhav, left without hearing him out. Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the two officials did not want consular access. The minister said Jadhav kept asking the Indian diplomats to talk to him but they left.

However, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said that their officals left the meeting with Jadhav, because an agreement to allow 'unimpeded' consular access had not been honoured by Pakistani officials.
