It is my dream to present this gift to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM Modi has become the first prime minister in getting global recognition to our country, he said without elaborating on the 'global recognitions' he referred to. "I bow to PM Modi for bringing laurels for the country," Hussain said.
Pained by Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal hacking case Waqar said "someone attempted to vitiate the atmosphere in Udaipur. Ours is a peace loving city. But they were not successful. We all are Indians first and sons of 'Bharat Mata'. We should give respect to each other's religion. It was my small effort to bring cohesion in the society. Even in family, we avoid those creating trouble. In the same manner, we sidelined those responsible for Udaipur incident."
