Former nuclear scientist and a metallurgical engineer A Q Khan founded the uranium enrichment program for Pakistan’s atomic bomb project. The 81-year-old was awarded Hilal-i-Imtiaz and Nishan-e-Imtiaz. Pakistan conducted its first nuclear test in Chagai, Balochistan, on May 28, 1998.
Siraj ul Haq also said the JI would provide youth employments after bringing Islamic revolution and give subsidy to people on their basic necessities.
Lashing out at alleged horse-trading by political parties in Senate elections, he requested the Supreme Court to take notice of that.
The Ameer JI said members of provincial and national assemblies were traded. He asked the top court to take oath from the newly-elected Senate members that they were not elected with the help of money.
