In the mid-2000s Bombaywala had a conflict with Houston City Council member M.J. Khan. After the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, the two men organized separate relief efforts instead of doing a joint effort. The PAGH, under Bombaywala, collected over $8,000 ($ according to inflation) by October 10 of that year. In December 2005 Bombaywala stated that the Pakistani community had 60,000 people and that the community donated over $1 million ($ according to inflation) to the earthquake relief efforts.
