New Delhi: India on Thursday asked Pakistan to immediately grant consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav in sync with the verdict of the International Court of Justice and said the ruling in the case by the world court is a complete vindication of its stand.

External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar also slammed Pakistan for claiming victory in the case saying Islamabad has its own compulsions to "lie" to its people. "The ICJ judgment is a validation of India's position in this case," he said, strongly rejecting Pakistan's claim of victory in the case.
