According to media reports, the letter was sent to President Obama requesting him to urge the Pakistani government to remove Musharraf’s name from the ECL, so that Musharraf can avail medical treatment in the US, given his deteriorating health.
The letter said that the former military ruler, helped the United States during 9/11 and his gesture should be reciprocated at a time when he is not well.
