Dr Khan can't interfere in N-policies: Wormtongue
Minister for Foreign Affairs Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Sunday said Dr AQ Khan has already been relieved of his duties and he is no more in a position to interfere in the country's nuclear-related policies.

Talking to Geo News, he said information from Dr Khan has already been obtained and now he is not in a position to influence or exert any pressure. The network of Dr AQ Khan is no more existing and he has no access to the country's sensitive information or policymaking institutions.

He said Dr AQ Khan is not in a position to formulate or dictate a policy. Pakistan is a responsible state and the world is satisfied by measures taken by Pakistan, he added. He said countries engaged in proliferation matters know very well that Pakistan's nuclear command and control structure is quite satisfactory and there is no chance of any takeover from extremists and non-state actors.

Relevant institutions are quite satisfied with measures taken by Pakistan regarding nuclear proliferation, he said and added they are quite satisfied that safeguards and strategy of country's command and control centre is quite satisfactory.
