Speaking to the media in Karachi, he said: "They need people who realise that if Karachi is shut down, the entire country will be shut down. They need people like that."

He added that if the Sindh government was unable to draft standard operating procedures for reopening businesses, they will lend a hand. "If you do not like us, you can avail the services of other renowned businessmen."
