Qureshi in his audio message said, at the time of partition of India and Pakistan,  Gandhi and Jinnah had a dream that people of  America and Canada continue to meet without visas, we too will continue to meet but it is very unfortunate that the political leaders of both the countries could not fulfil their dream.  He said, there had been transfers at the administrative level but restrictions have been put at the public level which we condemn.

We will celebrate the year 2019 as Peace Year and the lovers of Shaheed Bhagat Singh will participate in this movement.
