On India's appeal against the death sentence, Mr Bagchi said, "There have been two hearings so far (these were held on November 23 and November 30).

This is a sensitive issue, but we will do whatever we can." #IndianEnvoy #QatarMeeting #NavyVeterans #DeathRowDiplomacy #HumanRights #JusticeForAll #DiplomacyInAction #InternationalRelations #QatarIndiaDialogue #Advocacy #PeacefulResolution #GlobalConcerns #DiplomaticEfforts #IndianDiplomacy #NavyVetsRights #QatarJustice #HumanitarianEfforts ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.155~GR.124~
