I just got reminded that it's the Birth Anniversary of Dr. Abdus Salam, thanks to PKKH's fb page 
Here's what his two colleagues, who were heroes of Pakistani Nation themselves, have to say about Dr. Abdus Salam.
Dr. Ishfaq Ahmad:
"Dr. Abdus Salam was responsible for sending about 500 physicists, mathematicians and scientists from Pakistan, for doctorate’s to the best institutions in UK and U.S."
Dr. Munir Ahmad Khan:
"My last meeting with Abdus Salam was only three months ago. His disease had taken its toll and he was unable to talk. Yet he understood what was said. I told him about the celebration held in Pakistan on his seventieth birthday. He kept staring at me. He had risen above praise. As I rose to leave he pressed my hand to express his feelings as if he wanted to thank everyone who had said kind words about him. Dr. Abdus Salam had deep love for Pakistan in spite of the fact that he was treated unfairly and indifferently by his own country. It became more and more difficult for him to come to Pakistan and this hurt him deeply. Now he has returned home finally, to rest in peace for ever in the soil that he loved so much. May be in the years to come we will rise above our prejudice and own him and give him, after his death, what we could not when he was alive. We Pakistanis may choose to ignore Dr. Salam, but the world at large will always remember him."
Dr. Abdus Salam's services to the nation are unmatchable. He's one of the founding fathers of Pakistan's Nuclear and Space programs.
Lets pay tribute to this son of the soil.
Note: It would be helpful if this thread is kept clean of politics and other discussions.
