A news was being circulated that Pakistan will not oppose India for becoming permanent member of Security Council of the United Nations, Qureshi said. He demanded the government deny the news.
Addressing a public meeting in connection with the election campaign in PP-217, he said that the trade ties with India should not be developed as it was committing human rights violation in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

He recalled that the PTI government had categorically rejected trade with India till restoration of previous status of Jammu and Kashmir. Qureshi said that PTI chairman Imran Khan would visit Multan on July 14. He claimed that PTI was one of the most popular political party in the country.
