Khan </b>ISLAMABAD, Sept 26 (AFP) Pakistan's government Wednesday condemned ex-premier Benazir Bhutto for saying she would let the UN quiz Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan if she regained power. Imran Khan and other opposition leaders also criticised Benazir for saying that she would allow UN inspectors to question Dr. Khan. Federal Minister for Railways, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said Dr A.Q. Khan would not be handed over to anyone nor anyone could have direct access to him. âWe cannot compromise on it and the statement of Benazir is highly condemnable.â âPakistan cannot allow any interference in its affairs. We have ourselves investigated A.Q. Khan's case, we don't think it needs to be taken up again,â Deputy Information Minister Tariq Azeem said. âThere is a strong reaction in Pakistan over Benazir Bhutto's statement on A.Q. Khan,â he told a private television channel. âThis is a highly shameful statement,â Imran Khan said, adding that Benazir wanted the blessing of the United States to âtake power and rid herself of corruption cases.â âBenazir Bhutto is doing everything to appease the United States,â said Liaquat Baloch, a senior member of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, or United Action Front, the country's main alliance of Islamic parties. âShe wants to gain power and the people of Pakistan know that to achieve her objective she is ready to compromise the country's nuclear programme,â he told AFP. Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, leader of the Jamiat-Ulema-e-Islam party, said Benazir's statement was âagainst the solidarity and integrity of the country.â (First Posted @ 15:25 PST, Updated @ 21:05 PST)
