The terror attack, which claimed 26 lives in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, was one of the deadliest attacks in the region since the 2019 Pulwama strike, which claimed the lives of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans. Soon after this Pahalgam terror attack, India announced a series of steps to give a strong message to Pakistan for its support to cross-border terrorism, stating that the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 will be held in abeyance and the integrated checkpost Attari will be closed with immediate effect.

According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), India has closed its airspace to all aircraft registered in Pakistan and those operated by Pakistani airlines. But do you know who is behind Pakistan’s nuclear weapons? Well, Abdul Qadeer Khan, born in India, is the man behind Pakistan’s nuclear power.

Born in 1935 in Bhopal during British rule, Khan moved to Pakistan during the partition. According to the ABP News report, he hailed from a patriotic family; his father was a teacher, while his grandfather and great-grandfather were military officers.

The report further mentioned that Abdul Qadeer Khan spent 16 days in Europe, during which he allegedly stole the formula for making a nuclear bomb, brought it back to Pakistan, and helped develop the country’s nuclear weapons. Moreover, Khan faced accusations of theft, and Western media often referred to him as a “super spy,” but Khan always considered himself a devoted patriot.

Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program began in 1976, and Khan was the leader behind it. Before this, Khan had lived in various places and acquired the formula that enabled the creation of nuclear bombs using uranium.
