LAHORE Secretary General Jamaat-i-Islami Liaqat Baloch has warned the government that granting India MFN status would pave way for India to be permanent member of Security Council in the United Nations. Addressing the party workers from NA-126 at Mansoora on Saturday, he said that the traders community must also keep in mind Indian attitude towards Pakistan and the negative impacts of the decision of bilateral trade. Baloch lashed out at the government saying that it had strengthened the U-turn policy on Kashmir adopted by Pervaiz Musharraf inflicting irreparable loss to Kashmir freedom movement.
