The Pakistani civilian government seems to have little information on Kulbhushan Jadhav -- it is the Pakistani military which is in the know -- because of which its legal team at the International Court of Justice was ill-prepared, sources have told WION.&nbsp;

Sources in the Pakistani administration told WION that a number of Pakistani MPs were left unsatisfied after a meeting of the parliamentary committee on national security on&nbsp;Tuesday, and that they left the meeting with a number of unanswered questions.&nbsp;

The gist of what the sources said was -- the Pakistani civilian government has little information on Jadhav.&nbsp;

That its legal team at the ICJ was therefore ill-prepared, leading to the court ordering Pakistan to not execute Jadhav until it has decided whether it will hear the case.&nbsp;

The sources told WION that the MPs feel the civilian government needs to push the military to share more information on Jadhav.&nbsp;

And that they feel Pakistan needs to expand its legal team -- while retaining Khawar Qureshi, who has so far led the team -- fighting the case at the ICJ.&nbsp;

The sources said the names of potential new lawyers were discussed at the meeting.&nbsp;

The sources also said the committee will meet again on May 30.&nbsp;

And that it is meeting so soon again because of the unanswered questions left over from Tuesday&#39;s meeting.&nbsp;

Pakistan accuses Jadhav, a former Indian Navy officer, of spying in Balochistan.&nbsp;A Pakistani military court sentenced him to death in April.&nbsp;

India has taken Pakistan to the ICJ, accusing Pakistan of not allowing India consular access to Jadhav.&nbsp;That, India says, violates a treaty guaranteeing diplomatic assistance to foreigners accused of crimes.&nbsp;
