Re: Pakistan’s contribution to Higgs boson
Ermm actually, the former PM had paid tribute to him earlier this year, long before this Higgs jazz. And go read up on some of the articles dating back to January 2012, written by Pakistanis, honouring him on his birthday. Don’t forget to read the comments condemning extremism against minorities, again written by the present generation of Pakistan.
And it was long before he had earned a Nobel Prize that he was appointed a member of the scientific commission for the Pakistani President, the first technical member of the atomic energy commission, the chief scientific advisor to the president for 13 years, honoured with national awards and honorary degrees. Why are there several government-owned institutes named after him in Pakistan? Why is there such a thing as the Abdus Salam Award, presented to selected Pakistani scientists every year? Why pay tributes to him? Coz the nation hates him innit.
