English translation of enclosed letter (as it should be widely read):

Open Letter to General Qamar Javed Bajwa
July 4, 2021, Karachi Central Jail
History will absolve me!

After 7 months of imprisonment, I was released temporarily to attend the budget session of parliament. (1)

Meanwhile, I came to know through social media that you told members of parliament during the in-camera briefing on “National Security” that if I apologized to you, then I would be released! (2)

Isn't it a blatant violation of the constitution that you are the head of an institution that is subordinate to a government ministry, that receives salaries from citizens’ taxes and the national treasury, and yet it not only interferes in political and judicial matters... (3)

What's even more vile is potentially covering for the suspected killers & saying that the investigation is a "sensitive matter" whose details couldn't be disclosed. Tahir Dawar's son, @AmjidDawar, called for an international inquiry as the govt wasn't pursuing the investigation.

.

His body was later found with torture marks in Afghanistan close to a Pakistani check-post.

According to Azaz Syed's story, Tahir Dawar had arrested militants transporting ammunition to Afghanistan. He resisted pressure "from above" to release them, though his senior officer eventually did.

Not only did ISI tell Justice Qazi Faez Isa that it didn't have the mandate to investigate TLP's finances (when it has assumed the mandate for literally everything else) but Chief Justice Nisar delayed the hearing for 5 months enabling TLP's electoral rise. All roads lead to GHQ.

"ISI did not disclose the 'source of livelihood, place of work, address, funding'...of the TLP leadership...we had inquired whether they paid income tax or had bank accounts. ISI responded...that it did not have the mandate to gather such information."
