Rijiju's remarks came a day after the External Affairs Ministry said Pakistani journalists had hurled invectives at the two women -- mother Avanti and wife Chetankul -- outside the Foreign Office building on Monday.
The reaction of Pakistan FO came after India accused Islamabad of not returning her shoes after the meeting held in Islamabad on Monday.
Not new to controversies, the Samajwadi Party leader said that the former Navy officer is being called a 'terrorist' as Pakistan treats him as one and that its 'conduct' should come as no shock.
India on Tuesday slammed Pakistan for the manner in which the meeting between Jadhav and his wife and mother were conducted, saying Islamabad "violated the letter and spirit of our understandings" over the meeting.
The FO said that Pakistan does not wish to indulge in a "meaningless battle of words" and categorically rejects India's baseless "allegations and twists" about attitude of authorities.
The video, shot from media stands when Jadhav's wife and mother were waiting outside the Pakistani foreign ministry after the meeting, has distinct audio of Pak media shouting insensitive remarks at the Indian nationals.
Most of Jadhav’s remarks were clearly tutored and designed “to perpetuate the false narrative” of his alleged spying in Pakistan, the external affairs ministry said in a no-holds-barred statement against Islamabad’s conduct.
Kulbhushan Jadhav's family met him at the heavily guarded building of the Pakistani foreign office.
Describing the Indian death-row prisoner as “the face of Indian terror”, Pakistan said that it would decide on consular access to him at an appropriate time.
The 40-minute meeting, which took place after many representations, took place at the heavily guarded Foreign Affairs Ministry building.
“I requested a meeting with my wife and mother and I am thankful to Government of Pakistan for this gesture,” Jadhav said in the brief video message.
