HYDERABAD, March 13: Sindh Taraqi Passand Party chairman Dr Qadir Magsi has said that his party always advocates friendly relations between Pakistan and India. He said that for opposing confrontation between the two neighbours in the past, the STPP had been dubbed as the agent of India.

He was speaking at a reception hosted in honour of the visiting Indian delegation by the central leaders of his party.
