Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu said the entire House calls upon the government to take steps for the safe, secure release of Jadhav
On Tuesday, the Ministry of External Affairs said Pakistan disregarded the cultural and religious sensibilities of Kulbhushan Jadhav's family, who met him on Monday
Jadhav's wife's shoes were kept for inspection, while all other belongings, including jewellery, were returned
Jadhav, who was arrested in March, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court for alleged spying, an accusation that India has dismissed as concocted
The wife and the mother of Jadhav were asked to remove mangal sutra, bangles and bindi, besides having been asked to change the attire, citing it as a security measure
It appears that Jadhav was under considerable stress and speaking in an atmosphere of coercion, says Ministry of external affairs
India said the two women were made to remove their mangalsutra, bangles and bindi and were not allowed to converse in their mother tongue Marathi
Jadhav's meeting with his family members was not any ordinary meeting as they were separated by a glass barrier
They will arrive by a commercial flight on December 25 and leave the same day. Indian deputy high commissioner will be the accompanying diplomat
Pakistan said that it was ready to permit media interaction with Jadhav's wife and mother
Mother, wife of Jadhav were allowed to meet Jadhav in the light of Islamic traditions and based on purely humanitarian grounds, says Pak Foreign Office spokesman Dr Mohammad Faisal
Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Faisal confirmed in a tweet that Jadhav's family had applied for visas.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar also said the government was working with the mother and wife of Jadhav for their visit to Pakistan to meet him
Pakistan said that Jadhav is not an ordinary person as he had entered the country with the intent of spying
The International Court of Justice in May had halted his execution on India's appeal
Pakistan's foreign office had earlier this month said it will allow Kulbhushan Jadhav to meet his wife
Pakistan had said it will allow Jadhav to meet his wife, months after India requested it to grant visa to his mother on humanitarian grounds
Jadhav was arrested in Balochistan, Pakistan, over charges of alleged involvement in espionage
This development is certainly a compliment to the efficacy of India's diplomatic outreach: Jitendra Singh
India has always maintained that Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran where he had business interests after retiring from the Indian Navy
