PM rules out IAEA access to Dr Qadeer
Saturday, January 17, 2009

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has ruled out possibility of giving the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) access to Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan and denied any US pressure to roll back country’s nuclear programme.

In an interview to a foreign news agency on Saturday, Gilani said there was no point of providing any access by the UN nuclear watchdog to Dr Khan as “his network is broken and there is no need for any other information.”

He said the United States had stopped making demands from Pakistan about freezing or rolling back Pakistan’s nuclear programme.

The prime minister said Pakistan was seeking additional nuclear power plants from China and would like exemption from the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and the IAEA for supply of nuclear technology for peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

He said Pakistan expected similar treatment as far as the US-India nuclear deal were concerned. He said he had told Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that it was because of this reason that Pakistan did not object to approval of the deal by the NSG in September 2008.

Responding to the announcement by US President-elect Barack Obama about deployment of additional foreign troops in Afghanistan, Gilani said it would intensify fighting in the war-torn country.

Gilani said the new US administration in waiting has already announced to withdraw troops from Iraq and concentrate on Afghanistan. Prime Minister Gilani also disputed the assertion that al-Qaeda has gained a foothold in Pakistan’s tribal areas.

“I also at times feel that there is no al-Qaeda in Pakistan’s tribal areas. These are all Taliban and you can call them any other name,” he said.

Gilani said former President Pervez Musharraf had entered an agreement with the United States for providing logistic and other facilities to the US troops in Afghanistan.

He claimed that the details of the agreement were not known to the army, the government or the parliament. However, this agreement has been institutionalized.

Dr. AQ Khan is our hero and should be supported at all cost.

Well ... At least the Government has their **** together on ONE issue. IAEA's just another excuse to keep harassing us for the heck of it. So WHAT if our Dr provided some countries with valuable Information about Nuclear Technology? Nobody stopped the Americans when they decided to Nuke Japan! and the Soviets, who didn't do enough to prevent the "Chernobyl" Accident.

Number of Nuclear Bombs are missing within the soil of United states and haven't been recovered yet since the Cold war era. If there's anyone IAEA should be keeping a check on, it's the Yanks and the Russians. The more Nuclear stockpiles you have, more likely you're going to screw things up for everyone.

So you dont mind it if He had offered Nukes to Bin Laden??? Just think, what if Bin Laden and Co got hold of some nukes??? It would be a massacre, in which Innocent people will be Killed. Please dont take these things Lightly! Its Serious! As for the Yanks and Russians, it a whole new ball game.

Did our Scientist actually HANDED nukes to a Guerilla commander? No he didn't. So let's not start fantasizing about what would've happened if he "Did that". He didn't. PERIOD. North Korea and Iran deserve the Technology just as much as any other country on the planet. The one who JUDGES these matters, are basically the one's with Nuclear Blood on their hand. Hypocrisy at it's best!

You mean Tim Osmond, the CIA trained asset? Please, he wouldn't know what to do with a nuke if it was handed to him in the a**. Bezerk is right, the yanks and Russkies are the ones we need to keep our eyes on, Pakistan knows where each and every one of our stockpile is, however not too sure about others (including Israel, who has nukes but refuses to have the same set of laws and standards govern it's secret and illegal arsenal).

Once again, you have proven yourself to be a biased twit.

By the way, you don't HAVE to write "unrelated-directed-to-a-third-person" crap in your message to make it look nice and long. If you would've read my post, you'd know that what you just wrote was simply an act of not UNDERSTANDING my point of view and replying with a rattling barrel full of USELESS whining.

 

[ahmeddsid]

man, i got nothing to counter you, coz then i would have to come down to a level, i have no experience whatso ever! God Speed!

 

[Kharian_Beast]

man, i got nothing to counter you

Of course you don't, you are fresh out of fail.

 

[IceCold]

So I thought that we are passed this issue over letting IAEA interrogating Dr. Qadeer but it seems i was wrong, we are certainly not and imo GOP is to be blamed for this, the present and the past both because why can't they for once tell the US behind back doors to back off. The sooner you do the better we can move towards other important issues like tackling terrorism for instance.
I have always maintained this opinion that there are certain issues where you have to get straight to make a point, diplomacy and so called friendship kept aside.

 

[ajpirzada]

well we have already told everyone and its clear. no one will be gettin access to our Dr. AQ Khan

u know u r not talking sense. all wat u have said is directly comin from ur media.
the comparison which u have made simply doesnt sit properly.
Giving equations to iran or nort korea vs. Giving a bomb to so called Al Qaeda

 

[Patriot]

Ahmedsid,
Nuke is a bomb which you can denote easily..you must have codes and can you tell how terrorists will transfer nuke from Pakistan to other countries incase they get some nukes..all these western authors don't know **** about Nuclear bomb and are like Pakistan nukes are dangerous etc..

The INDIANS have as an active imagination as the AMERICANS when it comes to the nuke program of Pakistan. Their assumptions which are generally based on false and/or ill-informed premise end up sounding more like fiction than actual facts on the ground. This also has its roots in the fact that the intelligence services from both countries have absolutely no access or humintel to the secure information about the security infrastructure and/ or set-up of the Pakistan Nuke Command. Therefore the constant barrage of stupidity laden comments of ''A Q Khan may hand over this or that.....''or ''Dr. Bashir met up with Osama........'' yada yada yada!! This OBL theory on Pak nukes is now getting cliche just as the poor spa cannot even come out his cave let alone to a well guarded and secured nuke command and control station.

The Indians should be more worried about their nukes falling in the hands of the likes of the BJP or VSS extremists amongst their mists who under the garb of legitimacy are far more dangerous than any OBL's of our times!! The irony is that these Hindus extremists may already have direct access to the Indian nuke arsenals. Can any Indian on this forum can guarantee that no extremists in India is capable of initiating a nuke war against Pakistan to start a nuclear holocaust in the region? What kind of a Personnel Reliability Program does the Indian Nuke program has? Hence, I am more concerned about the Indian Nuke program falling apart and causing a nuke holocaust than ours.

Lastly, the Yanks should first take care of their own nukes which have been 'mistakenly' flying the breadth of the US recently and as defined elsewhere in this section of WMD!!
