The ~~third~~ fourth piece, an interview, has some info:

The Pakistani intelligence started a conspiracy. Our party lost the majority in the assembly and became the opposition. This is a daily occurrence in Pakistan where the governments are formed and pulled down by orders of the army. Soon after, there was a coup and General Pervez Musharraf took over the government in Pakistan. Even the provincial assemblies were dissolved.

I was asked to join Musharraf's party which I refused. I was put on the Exit Control List (ECL). Then the intelligence agencies developed information that I was in touch with the Indian High Commission. When I came to know about this, I went underground for two months and came to the US. I was scared for my life as I was getting constant threats and would keep seeing my name in the newspapers.
