He said that the country’s population exceeded up to 200 million, so for better governance and administrative system, there needed to create at least 20 more provinces. He also suggested to empowering the people through LG system and let them resolve their basic issues on the ground.
Mr. Hussain mentioned that the judicial system of the country seemed partial because the rich could escape from the law while the commoner had to face the brutality of the legal system. He said that a case was registered against him because he discussed the process of human fertility.

He said that MQM kept raising its voice for the rights of the women and wanted to give them an equal opportunity along with the men.

He said that MQM’s only moto was to serve the people and resolve their issues. He also appealed to the participants of the gathering to utilize their time for MQM and the cause to provide relief to the people.
