Subramanian Swamy said India’s victory was ‘stupendous’. He wrote: “India’s victory in ICC (sic) is stupendous. Pak will now stagger in stupor till it is broken into 4.”

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called it a big victory for India and wrote: “International Court of Justice has directed Pakistan to grant consular access to #KulbhushanJadhav. It is no doubt a big victory for India.”

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal wrote: “I warmly welcome the ICJ judgement staying the execution of Kulbhushan Jadhav & granting consular access to India. Truth and justice prevails. This son of our soil must be back soon with his family.”

1. Pak Stopped In Its Track

The World Court on Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy, a document published on the court's website showed.

India had asked the U.N. court, formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), to intervene in the case, as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been denied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan.
