Former federal minister and well-known politician Syeda Abida Hussain has said that it is true that Osama bin Laden supported Nawaz Sharif, he also provided financial support to Nawaz Sharif, the nuclear program was under the supervision of the president, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif I was appointed on the recommendation of the President and not Ambassador Mian Nawaz Sharif.
Nawaz Sharif was kept unaware of this because he had no trust in Nawaz Sharif, the nuclear program was completely under the supervision of the President, the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was completely unaware of it. He said that in 1990 I was appointed ambassador to the United States at the request of Ghulam Ishaq Khan. Nawaz Sharif had no role in my becoming ambassador. President Ghulam Ishaq Khan told me to keep the Americans busy till the completion of 18 months nuclear program. Not to talk on the phone, came to Pakistan only five times in 18 months and briefed the President.
