A chapter of Pakistan’s glorious history has closed.


Islamabad: The funeral prayers of Pakistan’s nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan have been offered at Islamabad's Faisal Mosque and buried at the city's H-8 graveyard.
The prayers were led by Professor Dr Ahmad Al-Ghzali and were attended by a large number of people, including political and social leaders and army personnel.
Thousands of people streamed into the grand Faisal Mosque, to pay last tributes to Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan.
There were a considerable number of people who were at the venue from around midday.
Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan was buried with all-State Honors and national flag will fly at half-mast.
The Patriotic son of soil made Pakistan an invincible Muslim Nuclear force for which every Pakistani will remain grateful.
He made Pakistan strong and proud by making the country world’s 7th Nuclear power.
Ever since details of the Pakistan’s nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan burial were given by television channels on Sunday, it was expected that roads leading to Faisal Mosque as well as at H-8 cemetery at 3:30 pm, would be clogged.
Khan is often dubbed the “father of Pakistan’s nuclear program,” having founded the Engineering Research Laboratory to help the South Asian country develop uranium enrichment capability.
Born in 1936 in the Indian city of Bhopal, Khan graduated in metallurgy from the University of Karachi in 1960.
Abdul Qadeer khan has always been a popular public figure and a symbol of national pride with many in Pakistan who see him as a national hero.
Moreover, Khan is the only Pakistani to have honoured twice with Nishan-e-Imtiaz.
