Nuclear scientist Qadeer Khan a free citizen, says LHC

[fawwaxs]

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday concluded the case of nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan and declared him a “free citizen”.

The nuclear scientist can move freely within Pakistan, the court’s verdict said.

“Dr Qadeer can move freely and continue his activities,” Justice Ijaz Chaudhry said while wrapping up the petition’s hearing.

The court advised the Attorney-General to remain in contact with Dr Khan so that his free movement is ensured.

In an earlier hearing, Khan’s counsel, Barrister Syed Ali Zafar, argued that the government had illegally restricted his movement in the name of security.

“Dr Qadeer is the country’s hero but he could enjoy freedom only within his house,” said Zafar.

“An agreement signed with the government at the time of former Attorney-General Anwar Mansoor was violated after his resignation,” he added.

Dr. Strangelove is on the loose. A whole squad of ICT Police is already dedicated to his protection and an ASP oversees his movement. It's time Dr Khan settles down himself (not house arrest, I'm saying no daily speeches at bar associations, clubs, meetings, etc)

I do not think that the security detail is protecting him from threats, the case is that security establishment is protecting itself from the estranged Doctor.

The lahore HC is in news these days.

Pakistan should atleast publish a white paper on this matter so that the world knows what really happened. Pakistanis look at this from a nationalistic POV, but rest of the world looks at it as a cover up. The white paper will show Pakistan in a more favorable light, even though will cause short term pain.

The white paper cannot shed a positive light in an objective way and even if from our POV, it won't be very good press for AQ Khan's involvement is known to all and we have successfully saven face in the international community. We do not need to remind people of that past again.

What I meant was the white paper will show Pakistan in a favorable light for having done the right but difficult thing in the long run.

Yes it will remind people and make it painful in the short term.

Yes it will remind people and make it painful in the short term.

Pakistanis have not, do not and perhaps will not think long term.
