RAWALPINDI, Dec 25: Nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan has said the government of Pervez Musharraf was unable to prove a single charge against him.

Speaking at a programme organised by the Anjuman Faizul Islam (AFI) to celebrate the birth anniversary of the Quaid-i-Azam, Dr Khan accused the Musharraf government of carrying out his victimisation despite his services for the nation.

Highlighting the struggle of Mr Jinnah, the nuclear scientist said no lessons had been learnt after the country's dismemberment.

Talking to reporters after the function, Dr Khan termed baseless propaganda reports in the western media that he had transferred nuclear technology to Iran and North Korea.
