CII decries naming QAU physics centre after Dr Abdus Salam
 [DAWN] Chairing the last session as the head of Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) on Thursday, Maulana Mohammad Khan Sherani decried the proposal to rename the Quaid-e-Azam University's (QAU) physics centre after Professor Abdus Salam.Toldja so. The council discussed the proposal after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... forwarded a summary to President Mamnoon Hussain of his approval to rename the National Centre for Physics at QAU the "Professor Abdus Salam Centre for Physics". Addressing a presser after the council's meeting, the CII chairman said changing the department's name would not set the right precedent. "We have concerns over the change of its [physics centre's] name as it was earlier named to honour Dr Riaz," said Sherani, but declined to offer any reason for the opposition. He was also asked if the CII had objections over renaming of other institutions or roads but Sherani declined to offer any comment over the subject. Nuclear physicist and Pakistain’s first Nobel laureate Professor Abdus Salam hailed from the country’s Ahmedi community. Pakistain declared Ahmedis non-Moslems in 1974. In 1984, they were banned from calling themselves Moslems. They are banned from preaching and even from travelling to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... for pilgrimage. Their publications are prohibited. In May 2010, jacket wallahs killed 80 people at two Ahmedi places of worship. Posted by: Fred 2016-12-11 |
