Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan has said that if any of the previous government supported him then Pakistan would have been far ahead of most of the Asian countries.
He said there would have been no load shedding or electricity shortage if government utilized the nuclear capability of Pakistan. Nuclear Energy is one of the cheapest source of energy after water and gas, other sources such as wind or solar costs 10 times more than nuclear energy and their life time is also shorter.
Abdul Qadeer Khan said that Pakistan became a nuclear power in 1983 but General Zia ul Haque postponed the atomic bomb tests because of Afghan War against Soviet Union.
He also said that my capabilities were wasted by Musharraf’s government because I have only utilized 15% of my capabilities for making Pakistan a nuclear power, I could have done more.
