“The MQM wants that the long-standing demands of Mr Khan and Dr Qadri should be deliberated upon and conflict and confrontation should be avoided at all costs”
“Committee consisting of three to four people should be formed for opening dialogues with Mr Khan and Dr Qadri and efforts should be made to find a way out of the present situation.”
Mr Hussain said that the MQM is ready to offer unconditional support in this regard.
Mr Hussain said that the operation Zarb-e-Azb” was underway in North Waziristan against terrorists and the army was heavily engaged with the militants and heavy firing was being done in the Sialkot Sector by the Indian Army.

Mr Hussain said that people were shifting their investment to foreign countries because of internal situation prevailing in Pakistan, which has adversely affected the economy of the country. It is the responsibility of both the government and the opposition to save the country and put the country on the path of economic recovery.
 
Mr Hussain said that the government show large-heartedness and initiate the dialogues, as it was the constitutional responsibility of the government to accept legitimate demands of the opposition and to solve problems being faced by the masses.

Mr Hussain warned if the government and the opposition refused to give up their stubbornness and did not avail the opportunity, the results would be detrimental for the country.
Mr Hussain appealed to the owners of medical stores in Lahore to donate medicines at the camp of the Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation in Model Town. He also appealed to the doctors and paramedical staff to spare some time for the participants of the Youm-e-Shuhada.
