He also slammed the Muslim world for being silent on the Kashmir case, saying that "Muslim world tends to favor India than Pakistan". He observed that Pakistan stands 'isolated' to defend its Kashmir policy globally, saying that the federal government and establishment failed to take the opposition and parliament into confidence in this regard. Siraj warned the government of serious consequences if it failed to fight the Kashmir case effectively, saying that Pakistan's integrity is linked to the occupied valley which India forcefully annexed into its union territory through a constitutional amendment. "If you failed to fight for Pakistan's integrity in Srinagar then you will have to fight it in Islamabad," he added.

"Over the past 14 months only the poor taxpayers' money was spent on holding senate and national assembly sessions and in return nothing they got," he said, blaming the PTI's government for 'polarizing' the nation in its tenure. He also called Islamabad - as "containerabad'. He also expressed condolences to the train fire victims and their families, demanding of Federal Railways Minister, Shaikh Rashid to resign. He also thanked Justice Wajihuddin for visiting his office.

Justice Wajihuddin pointed out that it was the 19th train accident since the PTI government has come into power, hoping Shaikh Rashid will resign on failures. On Kashmir issue, he said that India has shot itself in the foot by removing Article 370 from its constitution, ending the valley's special status. Such a move by India has again highlighted the UN's resolutions on Kashmir to hold plebiscite. The government, he said, should knock at the UN's doors, besides filing a case in International Court of Justice in this regard.
