Dr.AQ Khan goes SC against Musharraf
CJ Iftikhar’s one NO has really given hope to many Pakistanis. Out of them, the latest case would be of Mr.A.Q.Khan’s against Musharraf who forced him to say Sorry on National TV few years back and detained him illegally.
Musharraf who already has been facing lots of challenges within home might not be able to face this new battle field which Mr.Khan is willing to open against him. Dr.Atta-ur-Rahman met AQ Khan personally and tried to convince him NOT to go against Musharraf. According to daily times.
Atomic scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan has decided to challenge his detention in the Supreme Court (SC) and has hired two Islamabad-based lawyers to fight his case, Geo news reported on Wednesday.
DT further says:
Dr Khan would directly nominate President Gen Pervez Musharraf in the petition. It said that President Musharraf would be accused of not keeping promises allegedly made to Dr Khan when he (Musharraf) asked him to confess to committing acts of nuclear proliferation on television.
I myself watched the address of our atomic Hero A.Q.Khan who was offended publicly by the dictator Musharraf to accept those sins as well which he had not committed at all. In Pakistan, those were not even called on TV who splitted Pakistan into two pieces and here the person who helped to make this corrupt country an atomic state was dragged to say sorry infront of Pakistanis.
Dr.Qadeer was accused in to involve in nuclear proliferation from Pakistan to Libya,Iran and North Korea. Obviously Qadeer couldn’t do it himself unless he had not support of Pakistani govt or Army but like past Army saved itself and sold Qadeer like they had sold Taliban in early 2000. During USSR-USA war, the talibans were heroes and Mujahids. Army earned lots of money in the names of these Mujahids but when the army saw that these people are not useful for them, they declared them terrorists. Same was done with Mr.A.Q Khan, he was darling of Army and other agencies from Bhutto era to 2000. Army would have backed him to smuggle the things from other countries to Pakistan to continue the nuclear program of Pakistan. When they got everything in their hand and saw that Iran and Libya are going to strangle them, they forced A.Q to confess every sins comitted by Army, politicians. The thing which hurts that he was forced to come on public TV. Why was it necessary? was it to offend and make him low infront of Pakistanis? if yes then it didn’t work. If it was for US and West then a single statement by Khan to satisfy West but none of the option worked at all. Neither Pakistanis stopped respecting him nor West accepted his apology and trusted Musharaf. They still demand to hand Khan over to West. Now Khan has literally pissed off. He already suffered cancer in past. He’s a human too and CJ Iftikhar has given him enough courage to come out and tell the truth. CJ Ifikhar already said that no matter what, he’s going to give justice to everyone who suffered. CJ will certainly give Khan’s case priority and would definately bring concerned people in courts. This is irking govt and now Musarraf forced another professor, Dr Ata to convince Khan to shutup. I am afraid that Musharraf or Army wouldn’t hesitate to kill him since he knows everything! All I can do is to pray for him. No doubt for me, he’s the second Jinnah after Mohammad Ali.

For a moment keep the Mush aside, just think that what’s our role as a nation regarding our best hero? We are more concerned about the the disgusting so-called heroes like Shoaib Akhtar, or some cheap film/tv actors or some creepy singers.
Dr. AQ gave us nuclear tech, what we gave to him? Are we dead as a nation?

Only few lac people are needed to through this weak Government out of power but we are not doing it. What on earth do we want. We are actually supporting a system which is sucking blood out of us.
As long as people of Pakistan will accept current system and support it along with worthless complaining, no power on earth will change our status and Allah SWT will also not change it.
And yet when some political party tries to protest against this Government we the ordinary people call them self interest motivated people or power hungry. We also say these political people are selfish, we should sit in our bedrooms and watch their drama on TV.
Leave political parties aside, at least we can protest to save our hero like Dr Qadeer. To me supporting current system in any way both directly or indirectly is a sin. We should stand and give respect to those who are fighting against this Government.

You can’t blame Musharraf for everything , It was confirmed that AQkhan transferred atomic technology with physical material to other Muslim Country(countries).

If the gov’t could have killed Khan, why haven’t they already done so? If he is as clever as you suggest and knows about official involvement in his schemes, who is to say that Khan hasn’t successfully blackmailed the government into keeping him alive?

Solomon, I hope you’re not being funny? When I mentioned clearly that that Khan is not a CRIMINAL for Pakistanis and they rather blame to govt. This stand is quite opposite to govt’s stand. Harming Khan means govt just strike axe on its own toe. that’s other thing govt has been doing it by several other means.
No he has not blackmailed. If he wanted he could not only have a sane life but with lots of money as well. The reality is that he had none of the two.
