The General Secretary of Pakistan Muslim League - Quaid (PML-Q), while talking to media at the party's provincial headquarters in Karachi, said the presence of Rangers in Karachi for 17 years has not improved law and order situation in the megalopolis.
"There is a need to strengthen police force and to get rid of nepotism,” stressed the chairman of Senate's standing committee for defence.
He further predicted that under new Chief Election Commissioner Fakhurdin G Ibrahim, the upcoming general election would be fair and transparent.
Mentioning that 17 per cent of country's budget was spent on defence, Hussain said the Senate standing committee for defence will soon recommend strategic policies including counter-terrorism.
Hussain also said that the nation should support its armed forces and that institutions should not be blamed for individuals’ mistakes.
Responding to a question, Hussain lauded the Supreme Court’s verdict in the Asghar Khan case and said that powerful people were exposed.

With losers running the show, can you expect any strategy to succeed??
Mushahid Sahib, you(PML-Q) are the government. Please say we have failed.
Mr Husain is the Establishment's man. He speaks for his master. Wonder what the generals are up to now

Hussain also said that the nation should support its armed forces and that institutions should not be blamed for individuals’ mistakes. Responding to a question, Hussain lauded the Supreme Court’s verdict in the Asghar Khan case and said that powerful people were exposed. All he says is correct but............ look who is talking?
“Govt’s counter-terrorism strategy has failed:”-- DUH!!! Whats so surprising, I thought the whole nation already knew this
@Mirza: PML Q has worked on forming counter terrorism strategy but PPP has not shown its interest at all,, PML Q is actively giving its input being a member of Senate standing committee of defense
You mean there actually was a counter terrorism strategy in place ????
"The counter-terrorism strategy of the current government has failed and no measures have been taken to fix the loopholes in the existing policies, said Senator Mushahid Hussain" He forgot to mention that even though we are a part of the govt but not responsible for any of its failure! All coalition parties should take the credit and blame and not behave as if they are there only for free ride!
"Govt's counter-terrorism strategy has failed:" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Its easier to list what Govt strategy has succeeded?
