MULTAN/ISLAMABAD -- Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Sunday that Pakistan wants to establish friendly relations with its neighbors as per its foreign policy.

While talking to reporters in Multan, he said Pakistan will establish good relations with the new USA administration. The Foreign Minister said the world and region have changed in these four years and lot of changes has also occurred in Pakistan.

He said the new US administration will soon realise that India has changed under Modi now and it is no more a democratic country. He said voices are also being raised in this regard inside India.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Kashmiris are facing Indian brutalities in the illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir while minorities are finding themselves unsafe in India. He said there is a harmony between Joe Boden and Pakistan government's policies as they are similar to each other.

The Foreign Minister said Joe Biden government wants reduction in violence in Afghanistan while Pakistan also fully supports democracy in Afghanistan. He said Pakistan's stance regarding Palestine issue is clear as Pakistan will not recognise Israel until a peaceful solution of Palestine issue.

'Elected PM'

Qureshi said the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) would defeat Pakistan Democratic Movement, in case, it would table no-confidence move, as proposed by Chairman Pakistan Peoples' Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

He said Bilawal Bhutto acknowledged the democratically elected government by extending proposal of tabling no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan. Now, Bilawal should shun term 'selected' and, call elected PM. 'No Confidence Motion' is part of constitution, he said adding, now Bilawal admitted the democratically elected government.

Qureshi also maintained that Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) lacked unity and similarly, the un-natural alliance had been collapsed. Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam has also been divided into groups.

Responding to a question about Justice (Retd) Azmat Saeed as Chairman Broadsheet Probe Committee, Qureshi remarked that opposition would not agree on any name. He, however added, if opposition has 'clean hands' then it should not worry.

PTI government has no relation to Broadsheet agreement or its suspension, said Qureshi. He however added that PM Imran Khan wanted inquiry to make things clear.
