Islamabad: The federal government has issued instructions for the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to name a prominent road and government building after Pakistan’s nuclear programme architect Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, according to news sources.
Reportedly, the federal cabinet wrote a letter to the interior ministry for naming a major public building after Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan as a tribute to his efforts. In a separate development, the government has asked CDA to name a road after the nuclear scientist.
Dr Khan (aged 85) recently died in Islamabad and was accorded a state funeral at Faisal Mosque, followed by his burial at Sector H-8 graveyard. He was hailed as a national hero, and the federal cabinet wants to offer a small tribute to the memory of his services for Pakistan. To this effect, CDA officials will compile their proposals, which will be finalised and approved by the federal cabinet.
