Sharing Nuclear Technology: Pearls of Wisdom!

Jamaat-i-Islami will share N-technology when in power: Prof KhurshidDaily Times: September 3, 2006

LAHORE: The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) will share nuclear technology with countries which need it if it comes to power, JI deputy chief Prof Khurshid Ahmad said on Geo television’s Jwabdeh programme on Sunday.

He said that all options including transfer of nuclear technology should remain open, adding that Article 3 of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) stressed that the countries having nuclear technology should share it with those which didn’t have it.

“According to the NPT, it is the responsibility of every country having nuclear technology to share it with others for peaceful purposes. It is every country’s right to have nuclear technology for peaceful purposes,” he added.

Prof Khurshid said that the JI ameer (chief) was considered the most pious and best among all JI members and leaders, adding that he was even superior to those who had been martyred in jihad.
