Summary Dr A.Q Khan says students should apply their knowledge to compete with the Western nations.
RAWALPINDI:-Prominent nuclear scientist and Chief of Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Pakistan Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan has stressed upon the students to apply their knowledge in practical life to compete with the Western nations.
Addressing the students of educational institutions of Anjuman Faiz-ul-Islam on Tuesday, he said Pakistan was facing many challenges in improving its education sector. “Still some 30,000 ghost schools in the country are narrating the different stories and a large number of them is being used as herds of animals, marriage halls, and fodder cutting places by the local influential ones”, he lamented.
He said after the atomic bomb was completed, some irrelevant people rose their claims of developing this deterrence. “If they were able enough to prepare atomic bomb without any others’ assistance, than why they did not worked it out before me”, he added.
Dr Khan said: “By the grace of Almighty Allah I was granted with true and loyal team members who worked seven days a week and 18 hours a day to bundle successes. Many people including world leaders did not believe that we could produce the positive results and they were considering it a futile exercise,” he stated.
He said the quality of education has no link with beautiful buildings and places but it links with the aspiration, ambition and loyalty to the job.
The ceremony was held to distribute prizes among the winning students of speech competitions in connection with the three-day celebrations of birth anniversary of Quid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
The president of Anjuman Faiz-ul-Islam Mian Mohammad Siddique Akbar, Ex-chief scientific officer KRL Syed Mansoor Ahmed, vice presidents of Anjuman Dr M. D Khan, Prof. Aziz Hashmi, General Secretary Raja Fateh Khan, Professor Niaz Erfan were also present.
