`Debriefing` of N-scientists not a controversial issue: Pak PM

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Islamabad, Jan 22, IRNA - Prime Minister of Pakistan Mir Zafarullah 
Jamali Thursday said his government is fulfilling its responsibility 
to hold `debriefing` of the nuclear scientists. 
Talking to reporters in the provincial assembly building of 
Quetta, Balochistan, he said that the `debriefing` should not be made 
controversial. 
"Concern about the nuclear scientists is wrong," the premier said,
"The government does not have any personal grudge with any one". 
He said that the debriefing of nuclear scientists is in the best 
interest of the Pakistani nation. 
Talking about the protests by lawyers over the debriefing, Jamali 
urged the lawyer community to focus on their profession instead of 
commenting on sensitive issues of national security. 
Responding to a question about the return of opposition leaders, 
Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto, the prime minister said they had 
gone into exile on their own and there is no ban on their return. "If 
they return and face charges in court, the government will have no 
objection." 
He said his government has not registered any case against the 
former prime ministers and they registered cases against each others.
