History and Background
He started his political career when he was a student in University of Karachi, where he founded all Pakistan Muhajir Students Organisation (APMSO) in June 11, 1978. aPMSO started gaining support of Urdu speaking students Muhajirs and were able to win 92 seats in college elections in 1980. However, aPMSO faced a strong opposition from Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba, main opponent and student wing of Jamaat-i-Islami.

He is the first in Pakistan who introduced a new trend in the political culture by giving a non-feudal based political philosophy and forming a political party, which is the commonly associated as a representative of uneducated minorities. The people of Pakistan are well aware of his political ideologies and statements. and though most people of southern Pakistan agree for the need of a bigger representation in parliament, they no longer want Mr. Hussain representing them. His reputation has been severely tarnished by statements from numerous former party members who have spoken out against Mr. Hussain and the methods he used before he was exiled. His use of employing terrorist tactics during the uprisings of the late 1980''s and the early 1990''s to gain political ground is recently coming to light. He is associated with ordering many political murders and using torture, on civilians and opposition party members, to spread his ideology during his time in power. He is commonly blamed for the unrest Pakistan suffered during this period. He currently resides, in exile, in London. He often arranges public video conference speeches in Pakistan to try and gain support for himself. He is known for his outrages and un-leader-like behavior. His almost comical appearances and statements during interviews have led to declining support for his party. as a person he is commonly ridiculed and has fallen out of respect with the vast majority of people of Pakistan. Mr Hussain also sends out regular statements and makes his views heard on international TV interviews.
