Safdar Humayun Qureshi, the focal person for Pakistan People's Party (Overseas America chapter), visited the central secretariat of Minhaj-ul-Quran and the state-of-the-art complex for the education, training, and support of orphaned children, Aghosh Orphan Care Home.

During his visit, Safdar Humayun Qureshi remarked that the late Benazir Bhutto admired Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri's knowledge, wisdom, political insight, and the global role of Minhaj-ul-Quran. He mentioned that she was also a life member of Minhaj-ul-Quran. He added that Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri and Minhaj-ul-Quran are held in high regard with great respect and honor worldwide.

Safdar Humayun Qureshi also toured the Aghosh Complex, spent the day with the orphaned children, and had lunch with them. Colonel (R) Mubashar Iqbal, the Director of the Aghosh Complex, provided him with a detailed briefing about the education and training of the children under their care. He explained that the children who join the nursery continue to stay associated with Minhaj-ul-Quran even after completing their higher education. They help arrange their marriages and provide employment opportunities.
