Credit for nuclear power goes to ZAB, scientists, and not Nawaz: Mazari

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf senior leader Dr Shireen Mazari claimed Wednesday that ex-PM Nawaz Sharif had hesitated for two weeks before pressured into conducting nuclear tests.

In a tweet, PTI MNA, who is chief whip in the National Assembly, wrote, “Nawaz Sharif is a shameless liar! Credit for nuclear capability goes first to our scientists who set up PAEC quietly and built our capability. Credit goes to ZAB who set us on the road to nuclear weapons and credit to AQ Khan for acquiring uranium enrichment capability. NS dithered for two weeks before pressured into tests”.

Meanwhile, PTI has termed the deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s statement as disappointment, maintaining that Nawaz Sharif voiced his political agenda in the accountability court instead of answering the questions pertaining to his family’s Avenfield Apartments in London.

Central Secretary Information PTI Fawad Choudhary came hard upon former PM over his statement in the accountability court stating that Nawaz Sharif should have answered two very basic questions, first is from where Rs300billion came in the accounts of his children and what are the sources through which Avenfield properties were purchased.
