Students of Urdu university carrying placards and chanting anti-government slogans demanded the end of Khan detention and also restoration to the titles he was honored after Pakistan went nuclear in 1990s.

Dr. Khan had been under detention since 2003 after he confessed his crime of nuclear technology to other countries. Though, he was pardoned but put under house arrest.
