Pakistan will be constituting a new team of lawyers to "vigorously" present its case against Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav at the International Court of Justice, Pakistan’s ambassador to India, Sartaz Aziz said on Friday.

Earlier on Thursday, the Pakistan Foreign Office said that it does not accept the International Court of Justice's jurisdiction in matters related to national security, after the UN court stayed the execution of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav whom Pakistan had accused of being a spy for India.

Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria also hit out at India, saying the country has been "trying to hide its real face" by taking the case of Jadhav to ICJ.
