When you have a mouth which runs wild you know you have to get educated.I do no see any disrespect in the statement. The quality of a scientist is determined by the number of his publications in tier one journals followed by the citations. While judging him based on this strict scientific criteria, Dr. Qadeer's statement is neither wrong nor in bad taste. Secondly, he was interviewed by BBC and he must have been answering to questions asked by the interviewer.
Those Bharatis who are trumpeting Khan as smuggler should never forget that 'Smiling Budha', the first nuclear test by Bharat, itself happened due to the stealing of nuclear fuel from the research reactor provided by Canada for solely civilian research purposes. A thief calling other a smuggler is quite funny and it becomes even funnier when Pakistan is not a signatory to NPT.
Pokhran was not India's first nuclear test Mr Think Tank. Also Dr. Kalaam is credited for his work for the Indian Ballistic Missile program. He did not get patents cause his aim was not to become a scholar or to get compared with others, the aim was to develop Indian program which neither needs peer review neither citations. And he did a damn good job in that area without stealing the tech.
