Dr. Tahir Hussain, Pakistani nuclear physicist

Amongst the first scientists who taught and researched in nuclear Physics, and produced brilliant scientists about whom he remarked: “From the theory that I taught, my students produced results ” it was not an easy job but a colossal task which only unique people could perform and they did wonder”. Dr. Tahir worked with Dr. Rafi in the first Nuclear Research Laboratory and trained a number of young scientists.

He was educated at Aligarh University where he did his MSc with distinction. He accompanied Dr. Mohammad Rafi Chaudhary when the later came to Pakistan in 1948 at the invitation of the Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. At first, he taught Physics at Government College, Lahore, and after some time, proceeded to Oxford University and did PhD in Nuclear Physics. After returning to Pakistan, rejoined Government College, and was elevated to the post of Chairman of the Department of Physics. While he was at Government College, Dr. Tahir was appointed Vice-Chancellor of Azad Kashmir University, Muzaffarabad. Thereafter, he was appointed Chairman, Literacy and Mass Education for some time. Dr. Tahir was associated with the Ministry of Education as Consultant for Science and also worked as Chairman, USA Education Foundation. He has published a number of research papers in journals of international repute.

Dr. Tahir Hussain has contributed in the foundation and development of the first Nuclear Research Laboratory. In the High Tension Laboratory, scientists like Dr. Mand, Dr. Ishfaq, Dr. Mansoor and others worked under his supervision.

The Case Of Raymond Davis: What Actually Happened; By Terminal X

By Sultan Hijazi | Director at Terminal X

Sources in Pakistan's security infrastructure have confirmed that the two people gunned down by "Raymond Davis" were ISI operatives who were pursuing the technical advisor for the US Consulate in Lahore after they found him with large amounts of cash traveling to a specific destination. This is routine surveillance work for intelligence operatives especially when it comes to monitoring foreign operatives in the country.

It turns out that apart from a lot of cash, "Raymond Davis" was also caught with a cache of sensitive equipment that "could be used for something big", according to one officer, whose name is not being revealed on condition of anonymity.

Readers might remember that in 2009, four armed Xe operatives were arrested near Kahuta. The four, driving a Jeep 4×4 and possessing advanced surveillance and jamming equipment of Israeli manufacture, were intercepted 1.5 miles from the Kahuta nuclear facility.

Pakistan's intelligence apparatus is dedicated to the well-being of Pakistan. Counter-intelligence is what the ISI and MI specialize in, and this has been acknowledged by US officials.


''Pakistan would be exceptionally uncomfortable and even hostile to American efforts to muck about in their home turf,'' said Graham Fuller, an expert on Islamic fundamentalism who spent 25 years with the CIA, including a stint as Kabul station chief.

"Davis", however, is not affiliated with Blackwater (Xe) or Dyncorp as some reports suggest. He is an employee of Hyperion Protective Consultants LLC, an organization that deals with surveillance equipment, wireless alarms and personal protection gadgets.


Hospital sources for the slain victims reveal that 15 bullets were fired. It has been reported that before "Davis" went ahead with shooting those two operatives, he was trying to take their pictures and even did a small inquiry with people from here and there in Urdu language. Pedestrians on Ferozepur Road Lahore say that "Raymond Davis" kept telling them in Urdu "These two men were dacoits and were trying to snatch my money on gunpoint". This accusation aside, now the questions arise: If this operative knows Urdu, why and how?


We have to keep this in mind: The CIA’s operational statistics have shown there has been an increase in the number of officers proficient in mission-critical languages by 11 percent. Urdu, Arabic, Pashto, Persian and Chinese are the languages in high recruit-demands since the past two years. The CIA also offers hiring bonuses of up to $35000 to agents who are up to the mark in this domain (as mentioned in USA today dated 19 April, 2009)

It was during Pervez Musharraf's tenure that American operatives were allowed to roam free across Pakistan. However, despite all their movement, they are being constantly watched by Pakistan's intelligence agencies.


Another question: What about the people who filed a statement in court saying that the two slain operatives were "dacoits, they had robbed my iPhone before attempting to loot Davis"? It seems both those "witnesses" were paid handsome amounts by the US Consulate to give false confessions in court.


Diplomatic immunity is not for those who are armed and shoot down Pakistanis in broad daylight. If this were so, diplomacy would turn into a legal conman business. Pakistan's Foreign Office has already said that "Raymond Davis" cannot get diplomatic immunity.


It is noteworthy to mention here also that Pakistan's Army Chief Gen. Kayani commented on this issue with the Interior Minister Rehman Malik and advised him to "handle the American's case with care given its sensitive nature".

Gen. Kayani also advised that the American's "apparent diplomatic links" and "military links" should be kept in mind as the case moves forward, the report said.

Note that it isn't necessary that the killer's real name is "Raymond Davis". Intel officers have a custom of adopting pseudonyms for themselves, a previous case was of "Jonathan Banks", who ran from Pakistan after he was to be convicted in court by tribal elder Karim Khan for murdering innocent civilians through illegal drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal areas.

It is solely upon Pakistan's citizens as to whether they will force the government to carry out the prosecution of this operative. The first step has been taken by a Pakistani judge who has blocked any move to hand over "Davis" to US authorities.

How To Eliminate Child Labour From Pakistan..

Children are like flowers in a family and future of every nation but in Pakistan children are victim of child labor. Although according to Pakistan law, child labor is not allowed,  but like many policies the child labor policy is also buried in official files. From Sindh to Punjab, Khyber pakhtunkha to Baluchistan you will see little kids working as waiter, junior mechanic and beggars. what are we expecting, a new leader to run Pakistan? forget to achieve new leader for Pakistan without solving child labor issues.

There are many reasons behind child labor such as financial crisis in family, a tradition to work not to study, or casting system. Mostly in cities like Lahore, Karachi financial crisis are the main reason but in other areas i saw a tradition to prefer work not education like rural areas of Punjab and Sindh and Sarhad.
Sometimes i feel helpless where i see parents with the statement “parh likh kar kia karna hay jee? Kam hi to karna hai isnay.” It would be acceptable but what about statement like, “k yeh gareeb ka bacha hay or parhna hamaray bacho ka haq hai.” What is it? It is true that some sardars of tribal areas feels kids’ education as threat and they stopped it in their education in their childhood. Isnt it the reason for corrupt voting in elections? Isnt it the reason that why we see same faces on each election?
If you take survey then you will find that, Kids are badly beaten by their owners such as shazia case in lahore, there are many kids who lost their life due to punishment of owner. I mean beating a kid is a way to teach? It is normal reaction when an owner is also non educated or had a wild life, but what happens when an advocate beats her little servant? who will act if peoples from law are working against law?

Child labor would be eliminated from Pakistan but if we takes some policies decisions and be stick with them. From my personal point of view i would love to give some solutions:

1. Make a policy to provide free education till graduation level to those who does not study due to financial crisis.
2. Run a regular campaign to find young talent in any field, you will find lot of 15 year genius mechanics and others. Train them freely for industries like automobile, textile and etc.
3. Create a special placeholder in national budget to provide free facilities for kids.
4. Ask government and private universities to implement the law on education students to teach free in any school or madrasah before issuing degree.
5. Hire experts to plan and execute your children related policies.

Above 5 points requires your hard work, integrity, patriotism and love for Pakistan. I would love to hear your comments regarding child labor and possible solutions, You can also visit our website http://wethepakistanis.webs.com/. This is We The Pakistanis.. completing off with a request to Allah to make our nation with flowers  like children.

Pakistan Zindabad!

Pakistan's nuclear arsenal edges ahead of India

Washington Post reports Pakistan's nuclear arsenal tops more than 100 deployed weapons now. PHOTO: EPA/FILE 

WASHINGTON: Pakistan has doubled its nuclear weapons stockpile over the past several years, increasing its arsenal to more than 100 deployed weapons, edging ahead of India, The Washington Post reported late Sunday.

Citing US non-government analysts, the newspaper said that only four years ago, the Pakistani nuclear arsenal was estimated at 30 to 60 weapons.
“They have been expanding pretty rapidly,” the report quoted David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security, as saying.
Based on recently accelerated production of plutonium and highly enriched uranium, Islamabad may now have an arsenal of up to 110 weapons, Albright said.
India is estimated to have 60 to 100 weapons.

Pakistan: A Nation of Wonders & Miracles

Pakistan: A Nation of Wonders & Miracles

Birth of Pakistan and achieving a separate country from the clutches of almost 89 years of British rule is a miracle from Allah (SWT).

When the Indian National Congress expounded the idea of Hindu-Muslim unity, and presented the Lucknow Pact in 1919 between Muslim League (Quaid-e-Azam) and Indian National Congress (Mahatma Gandhi), no body knew at the time that the world is going to witness the rise of a new Islamic country on the global map.

The ideology of a separate country popped up into minds after the unpleasant incidents occurred between Hindus and Muslims during the liberation movement of Indian sub-continent, which lead to the foundation of Pakistan finally.

Pakistan came into existence with an abundance of difficulties; the economic disability, the unresolved Kashmir issue, the issue of rehabilitation of refugees and the unequipped and unorganized army.

Pakistan saw many ups and downs in the very beginning of its growth. Quaid-e-Azam left this world after Pakistan’s first birthday. After him, the most honest and devoted worker, Liaqat Ali Khan was assassinated. Then a series of misfortunes occurred: Many Martial Laws were imposed, the civil governments acted as a slave and a puppet in the hands of external powers and the enemies of Pakistan. Pakistan fought two wars with India; in 1971, it lost East Pakistan, which is Bangladesh now. The economic conditions kept swinging and jeopardizing the existence and progress of Pakistan. Due to its diverse geographical boundaries and ethnicity, it was always under threat of being divided into many states. Up until now the separatist movements, supported by India, are working hard just to weaken Pakistan.

But miraculously, with the help of Allah Almighty, Pakistan not only survived but despite all the difficulties and the efforts of ill wishers it emerged as a 7th Nuclear Power in the world and possessed the 7th largest army in the world.

The country that grew in the lap of multiple complications has become a challenge today for the rest of the world. Pakistan has successfully reversed the satanic planning of its enemies and determined to fight until it becomes the 1st Nuclear power and the largest standing army in the world.

If the existence of Pakistan is not a miracle and one of the many wonders of Allah Almighty, then what makes somebody think that how Pakistan is able to defend its sovereignty, identity and its borders despite the intrigues being played inside and outside Pakistan.

Pak-China nuclear Energy Cooperation

China has announced to give two more nuclear reactors at Chashma to extend its exports as one reactor is completed and the other is on the way of completion. This export is going to face some criticism especially by US and India that how china export nuclear reactor to Pakistan that is NNWS according to NPT and not under full safeguard of IAEA. Along with that this export is against the obligation and guidelines of NSG of 46 states. China’s stand on these questions is that this deal is the continuation of the agreements of 1980s when china neither join NPT nor NSG and this export is linked with the 2003 export of nuclear reactor to Pakistan. So, the obligations NSG cannot apply on this deal China did not need to get waiver of NSG.
First of all it is condemned on the basis of the obligations of Nuclear Supplier group that materials and technology designed specifically for nuclear use including fissile materials, nuclear reactors and equipment, and reprocessing and enrichment equipment (part I) needed to get comprehensive IAEA safeguards, and Pakistan is not under the full safeguards of IAEA and not the signatory of NPT.

It is a fact that Pakistan is not the signatory of NPT but on the other side there are other states that did not signed NPT but getting fuel from the signatory of NPT and members of NSG as; India got nuclear fuel from Russia in January 2001 when 32 of 34 NSG members were against it .US is going to give nuclear supply to Israel and nuclear safety of previous reactors. I want to compare Pak-China nuclear deal with Indo-US Nuclear deal as importers (pakistan and India) are non nuclear weapons states according to NPT and exporters China and US) are the signature of NPT and members of NSG. Both importers are not under the full safeguards on IAEA but India got exception as a waiver in NSG in 2008.Indo-US nuclear deal contradict with the waiver of NSG as; the nuclear deal of 2008 between US and India presents a picture of improvement of Indian nukes both qualitatively and quantitatively as “The assurance of nuclear fuel supply from the US and the NSG would free India’s existing capacity to produce highly enriched uranium and plutonium for its nuclear weapons program…Under the deal, India shall…have the capability to produce 50 warheads a year.” Along with that India is allowed to reprocess the spent fuel from the imported nuclear reactor and can convert it into the fuel for its fast breeder reactor, and this would not come under IAEA safeguards

Qualitative improvement can be done as; Indo-US nuclear deal did not have any provision that shows that India will give up its right to nuclear testing. Indian scientists had been given an access to advance US nuclear technologies under the IAEA safeguards. India conducted a long term negotiations with the countries of NSG and in 2008 got the exception that no need of comprehensive safeguards by IAEA. When we look at the origin of NSG, it was created after the nuclear test of India in 1974, when India diverted the fuel to its weapon program. If India can be given exception in this era then why not pakistan as in the case of Pak-China nuclear cooperation pakistan always use imported reactor from china for peaceful purposes. The clauses of agreement signed on September 15, 1986 between Foreign Minister of pakistan Yaqub Khan and his Chinese counterpart in the presence of Chinese Premier and PAEC chairperson Dr. Munir A. Khan at Beijing showed that, China would construct; four nuclear plants in pakistan named; Chashma 1, 2, 3 and 4 by 2011. But for this cooperation in this era critics says that pakistan’s domestic instability and its past role spreading nuclear arms technology demands that China’s nuclear plans there in pakistan at least come under strict international safeguards. But with a glance on previous cooperation between two states pakistan and China, we find out that the reactors provided by China to pakistan is under the safeguard and now two more reactors are the continuation of the export of 1980s agreement and it is under safeguard of IAEA as; Chashma pressurized water reactor (300 MW) is Under IAEA safeguards, fueled by low-enriched uranium; no known connection to weapons program.
US demanded the terms and exact draft of export from china in a way to decide that whether it is for peaceful or explosive purpose and expected that china will announce its initiative in NSG meeting taken place on June 24–25, 2010 in New Zealand. US is going to pressurize china not to export these reactors on multilateral forum not bilaterally because it did not want to lose china’s support in sanctioning against Iran and North Korea in UN and its economic partnership. No expected conclusion was being made in this regard because the Chinese initiative was not the formal agenda of that meeting. India had a clear position its non-proliferation efforts and get waiver but pakistan earned a bad image previously. Now while looking at the point that weather the waiver in NSG is needed for pakistan or not there are two options that if pakistan go for the waiver then its previous record named A.Q Khan case can bring doubt in the minds of NSG and they must object it but on the other hand if it succeeded to get the waiver then this can open the way for pakistan to export reactors and technology from 46 supplier states as India is going to get from Japan, France and so on after 2008.
Factor of reciprocity of international law presents that when a power is going to conduct cooperation with a state in the region, then the rival of that state must have to cooperate in a way to balance the gap within the region. While looking at the benefits of this supply china is getting not only economic benefits but on one side it is exporting old reactors to Pakistan and new ones to the other importing states. On Pakistan side it is not beneficial to us to import readymade reactors but the need is to get technology and reactors should be made here in Pakistan. India adopted this tact and now it is not only the importer but also an exported in a way an export the nuclear technology to smaller states as Myanmar. Pakistan is needed to be farsighted in this regard if it wants to be developed state and earn a name not as a importer but as a exporter.
