He congratulated Mr Sharif and hoped that he would give good governance to the country. He said he expected Mr Sharif also to accept the mandate received by the MQM with an open heart.
Mr Hussain said that he accepts the mandate of other parties as well including the PPP, PTI, ANP, JUI (F) PML (F) and( QWP)
Addressing journalists, writers, anchor persons and owner of newspapers and television channels, he apologized if the words said by him in the heat of emotions had caused them annoyance.
