**
AQ Khan bows out of 2013 elections**
ISLAMABAD: With the general election drawing near and politicians gearing up for the big day, Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, who is regarded as the father of Pakistan’s atom bomb has decided not to contest the upcoming polls.
Dr Khan’s decision comes a week after he registered a new political party with the Election Commission of Pakistan to contest general elections for the first time next year.
In July this year, Dr Khan set up the Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz Pakistan (TTP) as a platform to campaign against the growing menace of corruption that grips the nation.
“I personally would not contest any elections,” Dr Khan said while talking to The Express Tribune. “I’m going to launch a nationwide campaign under the banner of TTP,” he added.
As chairman of the party, Dr Khan said he would continue to guide party workers through the campaigns he has already launched.
Noting the failure of traditional political parties in delivering on their promises, Dr Khan emphasised that his party’s campaign would ask the youth not to vote for traditional parties such as Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Dr Khan, who is all set to start door to door campaign, is yet to establish party offices in major cities like Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta and Faisalabad.
Established in July 2012, the TTP has so far gained little political ground among the masses.

I couldn’t understand what exactly he is up to :konfused:
He got his party registered recently but he is not taking part in elections. He refused to patronize PTI and urges not to vote for Noon and Zardari leagues. But he is about to start a door to door campaign to educate the youth.
Dr Sahab karna kya chah rahey heiN???
