Qureshi’s father Makhdoom Sajjad Hussain Qureshi was the member of the Senate of Pakistan. His father was a close friend of General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq who appointed him the Governor of Punjab.

In February 2011, when the Union cabinet was re-shuffled in Pakistan, Qureshi was offered the post of Minister of Water and Power, but he declined by saying that he was not interested in water and power ministry in place of foreign affairs.

When Qureshi won his seat in the General Election of 2018, he was nominated by PTI for the office of Speaker of the National Assembly. However, he showed reluctance to the office despite Imran Khan’s persuasion.
