Former Pakistan PM Sharif has admitted Islamabad betrayed Lahore Agreement signed with India. The U-turn has meant that both countries inhabit a dangerous, nuclear no-man’s land.
Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, the 'father' of Pakistan's atomic bomb, was given a state funeral in Islamabad, which both PM Imran Khan and President Alvi gave a miss.
While Abdul Qadeer Khan is hailed in Pakistan, and enjoyed support from Saudis and other Islamic countries, some Western commentators called him an ‘enigma’.
Abdul Qadeer Khan was awarded Pakistan’s highest civilian honour Nishan-i-Imtiaz twice, but was also accused of selling nuclear secrets to North Korea, Iran and Libya.
Geo News reported that Khan was brought to the hospital Sunday morning after he faced breathing difficulties. Defence Minister Pervez Khattak referred to his death as a 'great loss'.
Armenia has procured significant defence equipment from India, including artillery guns, multi-barrel rocket launchers, air defence system, sniper rifles, weapons locating radars, anti-drone weapons.
The key to fighting a war successfully, or even launching it, is a clear objective. That’s an entirely political call. It isn’t emotional or purely military.
