Nuclear bomb prevented war with India: AQ Khan

Washington, Sep 3: Pakistan's nuclear bomb has prevented a war with India and made the "nation walk with heads held high", says Pakistani scientist AQ Khan.

"Our nuclear programme has ensured our survival, our security, and our sovereignty ... I am proud to have contributed to it together with my patriotic and able colleagues," khan said in the interview.

When he was asked to comment on Pakistan nation, which had no sustainable identity, Khan said: "Pakistan was not an artificially created country. We, the Muslims in India, were a separate nation with a distinct culture, history, social order, and heritage."

"By any definition we were a nation. Unfortunately, selfish, narrow-minded leaders broke it into ethnic groups, which led to exploitation. Nuclear weapons made the nation walk with heads held high." he added.
