Army veterans staged a protest on Wednesday outside the Pakistan High Commission over Islamabad's decision to sentence former naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav to death

"We have given memorandum to Pakistan against the death sentence given to Jadhav. He has been framed. This kind of inhuman and illegal activity is completely unacceptable," an army official told ANI.

Another veteran said, "I request the Government of India to retaliate and challenge Pakistan by convicting Kashmiri terrorists through military court instead of civil court. This would be the best way to end terrorism and make Pakistan realize that they have been torturing an innocent.
