Abdul Qadeer Khan The Man Behind the MythInterview by Zeba Khan

ZK Dr Khan your opponents consider you an evil scientist

of some sort and your fans think of you as a national hero

but what do you think of yourself

Dr Khan I am not at all surprised at what my adversaries think

of me abroad and what my fellow countrymen think of me at

home Unfortunately my adversaries belong to a category of

people who did not even spare our God our Prophets and our

most honest and sincere leaders They dislike me and accuse me

of all kinds of unsubstantiated and fabricated lies because I

disturbed all their strategic plans the balance of power and

blackmailing potential in this part of the world I am not a madman or a nut

If making nuclear weapons for the sole purpose of safeguarding the existence

independence and sovereignty of your country could be termed madness or fanatism then

there are many thousands in other countries who should be awarded even bigger titles I am

proud of my work for my country It has given Pakistanis a sense of pride security and has

been a great scientific achievement I am extremely happy and grateful to all those

Pakistanis who appreciate my services for our country and show tremendous love affection

and respect for me my family and my colleagues No money on earth can buy the love andaffection that has been given to me by a grateful nation In short I consider myself a

humble patriotic Pakistani who gave his best for his country

ZK After your success with Pakistans nuclear program you launched a campaign

against illiteracy instead of disappearing into a quiet and comfortable life Why

Dr Khan The reason for that is obvious most of the problems in our society spring from

illiteracy Hatred intolerance poor hygienic conditions and violence all have roots in

illiteracy so were trying to do something to help the poor and the needy I also thought we

should set up clinics for those people in the suburbs of Islamabad who cant afford to come

to the city If they have to travel five or six kilometers into the city thats a hundred rupees

already Then THEY may not have money for prescriptions and could end up buying

cheaper generic versions that are sometimes fake We have five free clinics each clinicsees about 80-100 patients a day They operate six days a week from nine to three and the

medicines are all free Some of the medicines we buy some are donated by various

pharmaceutical companies but we charge nothing from the patients not even ten rupees for

registration

ZK But why not retire Why stay in the public eye at all

Dr Khan Some people are ok with doing nothing all day after they retire but then some

people if they had nothing to do would go mad and start banging their heads against a wall

Im one OF those people I cant ever retire if I quit government work I will do social work

full time Charity is the family business My parents were very kind and gentle to people my

Decked out fair to men

is the love of lusts--

women children

heaped up heaps of

gold and silver horses

of mark cattle and

tillage That is theenjoyment of the

present life but God

with Him is the fairest

resort Quran 313

children do the same and even my little granddaughter does the same When she has two

biscuits she always gives one of them away I keep busy in other ways too not just charity I

coordinate a number of scientific projects Im working on industrial revival and

establishment Im on the boards of so many Universities Ive built a Polytechnic Institute in

Mianwali and NOW Im building a Genetic Engineering Institute in Karachi which I believe

will be the best in all of Asia

ZK How has fame treated you

Dr Khan Well sometimes if I go out to dinner with my family people will come up to me

and put their hand across my plate for me to shake sometimes when I have a bite of food

in my mouth I find this a bit disturbing I have to ask Allahs forgiveness and not get angry

because they come to me out of love and its not fitting that I should turn to them in hatred

Its my wonderful wife who has suffered the most in all this shes lost much of her privacy

But I tell her theres a good side and a bad side to everything The moment people realize

who she is she is taken good care of They show a lot of affection and respect to her

ZK There must be some benefits to being THE Dr Khan

Dr Khan If I escort my wife to the plane when shes flying somewhere the crew will take

notice of who she is and she will receive VIP treatment from the moment she steps on the

plane As for me I cant even stop by the roadside at a small hut to drink chai without

someone paying for me People go out of their way to show the love and respect for me It

is very gratifying

ZK Whens the last time you paid for dinner

Dr Khan Its been a long time I cant remember but I have never tried to take undue

advantage of who I am Once I was leaving the VIP lounge at an airport and the security

guard asked to see my VIP lounge card I didnt scream and wave my arms and say Dont

you know who I am Im Qadeer Khan I just took my card out of my pocket and showed it

to him that man was just doing his job and thats wasnt a problem for me at all Hissupervisor did come and yell at him though he waved his arms and said Dont you know

who this is This is Dr Qadeer Khan

ZK How do you occupy your free time

Dr Khan I like to feed the squirrels at my office and the monkeys who live in forest in front

of my home Even if Im on my way to work if I see them waiting outside I go back to the

kitchen and fetch some bananas or apples I read a lot and I write a lot Im currently in the

process of writing down everything I can remember anything and everything that has ever

happened to me and Im putting it in various diaries (DrKhan pointed to a large metal

sandooq (chest) in the hallway) This trunk is full of my diaries but for the moment Ive

locked it and I cant find the key

ZK Is it true that you drive around in a bullet-proof car

Dr Khan (laughing) I never bothered with bullet proof cars I walk down the street and I

buy my own vegetables Theres no security risk the only problem is that when I go out

people gather around me Theres no real security anyhow show me a single person whos

managed to cheat the Angel of Death Kennedy died Saadaat Died Zia-ul -Haq died when

its your time to go its just your time to go I never restricted my daughters either when they

were growing up I didnt want them to be burdened with not being able to go to school

picnics or having to travel with armed security guards I never even went to my daughters

school I wanted them to grow up like normal children

ul Qadeer Khan The Man Behind the Myth

yespakistancompeopleabdul_qadeerasp[82610 25913 PM]

ZK Do you remember when Pakistan gained its independence What do you

remember from when you migrated from Bhopal India to Pakistan

Dr Khan I was ten when Pakistan got its independence and I was living in thepredominantly Muslim state of Bhopal India The situation was relatively calm compared to

what was happening in the rest of India and Pakistan but still I can remember trains coming

into the station full of dead Muslims It was horrible I migrated from Bhopal six years later

when it was safer for Muslims to travel but even then the Indian authorities were treating

the Muslim horribly

At one train station the soldiers pulled gold jewelry off of Muslim women and pulled the

earrings out of their ears Every valuable possession was taken from the passengers and

ticket checkers refused to return your ticket unless they were illegally gratified I had been

traveling with a pen that my brother gave me when I passed my exams and just as I was

crossing out of India a border guard reached towards me and snatched it from my pocket

The pen had almost no monetary value but the guards behavior hurt me and it was

something Ill never forget

ZK You are engaged in a number of social welfare and charity works Some people

might consider this as an attempt for self-projection What do you think of it

Dr Khan Firstly other peoples opinions do not matter Some people dont even respect

the Prophets so why should I expect any better I think of myself as a postman God has

put me in a position where He gives me things money and resources and its only my job

to make the deliveries to others People accuse me of being extravagant in my charity and

ask me what Ill do if I run out of money Well if I run out of money I just wont be able to

do this anymore thats all But if I have money and dont help other people with it then my

conscious will be burdened Ill be too guilty to sleep at night

ZK Tell me something that most people dont know about you

Dr Khan Some people have the impression that because I built a nuclear bomb Im some

sort of cruel person Thats not the case I own many guns but Ive never shot even a bird I

love animals and I wouldnt even harm an ant Any one of my friends or family can tell you

that same I built a weapon of peace which seems hard to understand until you realize that

Pakistans nuclear capability is a deterrent to aggressors There has not been a war in the

last 30 years and i dont expect one in the future The stakes are too high and any aggressor

will have to consider carefully

ZK Well in closing what advice would you have for Pakistanis who are overseas

right now

Dr Khan My advice to them would be that when they come to visit their families they

shouldnt waste their time and breath discussing and arguing and trying to solve every single

problem in Pakistan just by talking about it Id say to them instead of doing that go to

wherever it is you came from and build a small school or a medical center Run it as a

private institution if you want so long as you make concessions for poor students or

patients If you cant be there long enough form an association of your friends and other

donors and have them see to it

Even if you just go to a small village and pay for the boring of an underground well youll be

doing more to help than discussing every minute detail of Pakistans social economic and

political scene and spending nothing but your breath If you have more time put in a basic

sanitation system You can take your education and your money and bring awareness to our

people Even if the school you build only goes to eighth grade you have still given the

people the tools to read newspapers and books independently They can then learn on their

own and at least have basic knowledge about health and other things The overseas

Pakistanis should stop talking about how to fix the government and just do some grass-roots

teaching and social work instead Youve got to work hard to help people I dont understand

why everyone wants to be a king and no one wants to be a soldier Whoever comes from

abroad wants to solve all the problems of Benazir Nawaz Sharif and Gen Pervez Musharraf

put together They should try to solve the problems of the poor people who have no potable

water a primary school or a basic sewerage system in their villages
