IT is a naive and risky move to allow a convicted Indian spy’s wife and mother to meet him along with an Indian diplomat.

This meeting is incomprehensible and as the Supreme Court of Pakistan has pointed out that Pakistani death row prisoners are not allowed family visits, so why this concession to an Indian terrorist?

If the meeting goes ahead, it should be in the presence of heavy security and closed-circuit cameras and the prisoner and the visitors must be separated by a glass wall and no physical contact should be allowed under any circumstances.
