"I am as sorrowful about Naqeebullah [killing] as his parents, his brothers, his family, and every Pakistani. He is like my own son, and I have always loved God's creation," the real-estate tycoon said. Hussain, in the video message, stated that he is presently out of the country due to his personal engagements and medical reasons. "Law enforcement agencies have been mobilized; whoever is responsible for this [crime] will be duly punished and will not be able to evade the authorities."
"I say this under oath [on behalf of] Bahria Town and Malik Riaz that our plane was not used for any such activity and neither have we taken any practical actions to help him. I stand united with the family and not with any criminal," Hussain said. "With God's blessings my record is very clear and God is my witness."
