Pakistan atomic program is getting controversial?

Drr. Abdul Qadeer Khan has said centrifuges were sent to North Korea in 2000. Dr. Khan said, "Any question regarding this should be put to President Musharraf and demanded to form a national commission to investigate the allegations leveled against him." He made these remarks in a meeting with his lawyer Barrister Javed Iqbal Jaffery who called on him at his residence.

Dr. A.Q. Khan said he has been kept under illegal detention. He further said he was given a pre-written statement and asked to read it out on television with an assurance that this would correct everything. "However, no such thing happened and now I will not stay silent anymore."

The nuclear scientist termed the statement of Director General, Strategic Plans Division a bundle of lies. "I did not reveal anything new but repeated all that was written in president Musharraf's own book." Dr. Qadeer said he was not well and would not talk to media anymore.

Question is: Whose statement is true and whose false? Being a highly sensitive issue as it is, don't you think discussing this issue would have implications on the country's politics as well as its relations with outside world? Is the atomic programme becoming controversial? We will appreciate your opinion.

I have heard that A.Q Khan has cancer and is not doing well. No one is allowed to talk to him too!
He is not in good shape. Any idea how he is doing physically?
