Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira on Saturday said the PPP was the founder of the country’s nuclear program, which guaranteed its defense and security. In his comments on Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan’s allegation that nuclear technology was transferred on the orders of Benazir Bhutto, Kaira said Zulfikar Bhutto had given nuclear technology to the country while Benazir gave it the missile technology as a part of their efforts to make the country’s defense impregnable.
“Benazir Bhutto is not alive and leveling such an allegation against her by Dr AQ Khan is not fair,” Kaira said. He said both the father and the daughter had made strenuous endeavors for peace, development and prosperity in the world, especially in the Muslim countries while the present PPP government was also following in their footsteps in promoting and strengthening ties with the world.
