The Co-ordination Committee asked if it was illegal for any businessman to give a donation to any political or religious party. It further asked if there were any businessmen in Pakistan who did not give donations to political parties at the time of elections or public meeting.
The Co-ordination Committee said that by arresting Mr Chughtai a message has been given to all businessmen in Karachi not to keep any relations with the MQM.
The Co-ordination Committee asked President Mamnoon Hussain, PM Nawaz Sharif, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and CM Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah whether the Karachi Operation was being done to eliminate terrorism and crime from Karachi or to crush MQM.
It demanded the immediate release of Mr Chughtai and stopping of vindictive actions against MQM its sympathisers.
