In a conversation with a private channel, Hussain apprised that his mother’s body will reach Pakistan on Friday and will be buried at Lahore’s Jati Umra residence.

However, Hussain said that both he and his brother Hassan will not be able to attend their mother’s funeral as they would not be traveling to Pakistan.
