Agreeing with these sentiments, Home Minister Rajnath Singh in Lok Sabha said, "The House and the government strongly condemn the Pakistani actions on this". Swaraj disclosed in the Parliament that three hours after Jadhav's death sentence was announced, the Indian High Commission received an official communication from the Pakistan Foreign Ministry, reiterating the proposal for conditional consular access.
India also issued a demarche against the Pakistani military court for awarding death sentence to Jadhav.
The report said the Congress MP took permission from the party's floor leader Mallikarjun Kharge, a vocal critic of the BJP and who had earlier questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Pakistan visit.
"Death sentence is a deliberate provocation to India". Sharif, however, said "despite our desire for peaceful coexistence, we can not remain oblivious to defending our sovereignty and protecting our independence".
Pakistan will not grant any concessions to elements working against the security and the stability of the country whether they're operating from inside Pakistan or from outside it.
"Government should use its influence and try to bring him back here safe", Asaduddin Owaisi said in Lok Sabha.
Pakistan says Jadhav was arrested in Balochistan past year, but India alleges he was "kidnapped" in Iran.
India had countered that Jadhav was not a spy but was operating a shipping business in Iran and was not in Pakistan.

You see, I was a zig-zag man before that ... and we became very good friends quickly thereafter. We were making records and it was just a moment. "He's American history", Snoop said.
And in an obvious reference to Indian warnings of consequences if Jadhav was hanged, he added: "We will defend our country at all costs".
India on Monday summoned the Pakistan envoy saying proceedings that led to the sentencing of Kulbhushan Jadhav are "farcical".
A Pakistani military court has awarded death sentence to Kulbhushan Jadhav on charges of espionage while authorities in India are feeding and sheltering a Pakistani spy who has been ignored by his own country.
There are differing accounts of how and where Kulbhushan Jadhav was detained.
Sending a strong message to Pakistan, Sushma said verdict against Jadhav is indefensible and Pakistan must consider its consequences on diplomatic relations.
The move has sharply escalated tension between India and Pakistan. He would have the opportunity to seek mercy from the army chief and the president of Pakistan or he could file an appeal against the FGCM army's court decision.
Kasuri, who has also authored the book "Neither a Hawk Nor a Dove: An Insider's Account of Pakistan's Foreign Policy", said a solution based on force is not tenable.
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena supporters took out a procession in Mumbai to condemn Islamabad and demand Jadhav's immediate release.
