ISLAMABAD: Pakistan today indicated that it could take the issue of Kashmir to the International Court of Justice following the footsteps of India which took the matter of death row prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav to the world court.
Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Faisal was asked at the weekly media briefing whether Pakistan would take Kashmir issue to the ICJ.
Instead of saying a direct yes or no, he indicated that the issue was being considered by the legal experts.
"Regarding taking the matter of Jammu & Kashmir to ICJ, it is a complex legal problem. The Attorney General is working on the matter and may update in due course," he said in response to a question.
Faisal also criticised Indian policy of selective issuance of medical visa to Pakistanis as "regrettable".
"This is not a gesture of compassion but cold blooded politicking under which individuals are picked at will for political mileage," he said.
He also said Pakistan was deeply concerned over the conviction of six members of Jamaat-i-Islami in Bagladesh.
