Honourable Sir,
It is now 74 years that Pakistan came into being, no one remains 'Muhajir' was 3 generations. Besides all those who came from East Punjab are also muhajirs. Don't you think it is about time that we treat all simply as Pakistanis? If absolutely necessary, I would differentiate on the basis of the 'Mother Tongue'. Yes just like Musharraf Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan was an Urdu speaker, but that's about it.
Should have been confined to his house? NO. But reasons of his treatment by Musharraf regime were two fold. Like a patriot, Dr Sahib accepted the guilt to deflect the blame of the proliferation away from the State of of Pakistan, Second was his won security. I am sure that agents of Mossad, CIA and RAW would have tried to eliminate him.
Israeli Mossad has been active in the assassination of scientists working for the Muslim countries since the 1950's. For example:
In the late 1950s Egypt launched a ballistic-missile program with the help of German scientists, many of whom were former Nazis. In July of 1962 President Gamal Abdel Nasser unveiled two new test missiles at a military parade, bragging that they could hit targets "south of Beirut." Mossad quickly responded with Operation Damocles, an intimidation campaign targeting the German scientists. One scientist was killed in September, two months after the parade,
Iraq bought the cores for the Osirak reactor from France. Originally they were to be shipped to Iraq in April of 1979, but shortly before their departure an explosion ripped through the warehouse that held them. The next year Yahya al-Meshad, an important scientist in Iraq's nuclear program, arrived in France to test fuel for the reactor. The morning he was to return home a maid entered his Paris hotel room and found that he had been stabbed and bludgeoned to death.
Between 2010 and 2012, four Iranian nuclear scientists (
Masoud Alimohammadi,
Majid Shahriari, Darioush Rezaeinejad and Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan) were
assassinated, while another (
Fereydoon Abbasi) was wounded in an
attempted murder.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh) was assassinated.
