1) Presume you are an engineer very well employed living comfortably in a wealthy society with a secure luxurious future ahead of yourself and your family. But for sake of your nation you leave all this and you put your own and your family's lives and future at risk. And you do that, not for one or two days, but for almost three decades. But then you are publicly accused of something you did as part of institution or as an individual, on which objections are perhaps arguable (discussed later), you are insulted and detained for no justification.
2) Now on what he did or is accused of doing, the nuclear proliferation. We Pakistanis are made to believe in distorted projection of reality by organized propaganda. We are made to believe in 5% as 95% and 95% as 5%. We are constantly fed with ideas tailored, explicitly and implicitly, up to details like choice of wordings, color schemes and rhythms, sometimes even tampering images and voices, distorting our perception of reality and thus subduing our behaviors to others' interests, individually and collectively.
The stark naked reality is,,, the biggest nuclear proliferator (and also the biggest abuser of nuclear technology in human history), is a signer of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the one who supplied Israel not just know-how, not just designs, not just technology, not just materials, not just equipments, not just prototypes, but rather supplied hundreds of actual nuclear weapons, and now again doing same to India, and none of this crime?
And when a Pakistani individual, or a Pakistani institution, or even Pakistan as a state (remember Pakistan has never committed to nuclear non-proliferation), assisted or attempted to assist a few voices raised against the stark naked aggressors, that becomes crime?
In my opinion, AQ Khan did an excellent job in whatever he did. 100/100. |
