Sir: January 29th is the date of birth of the Nobel prize winning physicist, Professor Dr Abdus Salam. This day makes me recall the wonders he achieved in the world of science and made Pakistan rise to the pedestal of glory. He passed away silently in Oxford on November 21. Unfortunately the country refused to acknowledge the man and his achievements because he was an Ahmedi. He became a victim of religious bigotry. Munawer shamim Khalid Via Email
