“Nation should rest assured Pakistan is a safe atomic power. No one can cast an evil eye on it.”
Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan (1936 – 2021)
Pakistan’s renowned nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan left us today.
Revered as a National Hero, he is credited for spearheading Pakistan’s nuclear program by building the first atomic bomb to enable the country to become a nuclear weapon state. His monumental vision & limitless services to the nation will be remembered always.
Condolences & tributes from all across the nation pour in:
Prime Minister Imran Khan tweeted:
Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr A Q Khan. He was loved by our nation because of his critical contribution to making us a nuclear weapon state. This has provided us security against an aggressive much larger nuclear neighbour. For the people of Pakistan, he was a national icon.
President Dr. Arif Alvi acknowledged his services to the nation:
انا للّٰہ وانا الیہ راجعون
Deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan. Had known him personally since 1982.
He helped us develop nation-saving nuclear deterrence, and a grateful nation will never forget his services in this regard. May Allah bless him.
