Why MEA didn’t move ICJ in March when came to know that 8 former Indian Navy officers were detained by Qatar without proper charges framed against them? By Hem Raj Jain

Even after the highly triumphantly publicized case of Kulbhushan Jadav in Pakistan the MEA didn’t formulate effective  policy to deal with such cases in foreign countries. 

A Qatar court has announced the death penalty for eight Indians arrested in the country last year ( as reported at https://gulfnews.com/world/asia/india/qatar-court-hands-down-death-penalty-for-eight-indians-india-government-1.98996917 ). It has revived the memory of Indians and Indians living abroad of case of Kulbhushan Jadav who is still languishing in the prison of Pakistan and who’s case was fought by the MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) in the International Cort of Justice (ICJ) and which was highly publicized trimphantly by India as the victory by India (as reported at https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/icj-verdict-in-jadhav-case-complete-vindication-of-indias-stand-mea/articleshow/70278241.cms ). 

This Qatar case is different from the Pakistan case. In a major victory for India, the ICJ ruled that Pakistan must review the death sentence awarded to Jadhav and asked it to provide consular access to him. In Qatar case, though consular access was provided, but in Qatar case  also the death sentence is awarded wrongly because Indian foreign ministry officials, including Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, reportedly (as per said report of Gulf News) have earlier said that the exact nature of the charges against the eight Indian men is "not entirely clear". 

But it raises an important question that - “why the MEA didn’t move the ICJ in March 2023 itself when it came to know that these 8 Indians were detained and were denied bail without framing popper charges against them” ? .

It is hoped the Indians including  their media will ask this question from the MEA & Modi government that why they didn’t move the ICJ in March 2023 itself when it came to know that these 8 Indians (former Navy officers) were detained and were denied bail without framing proper charges against them.
