But in his own country, Salam could not persuade Ziaul Haq to create a fund for the teaching of science to which he wished to donate all his Nobel Prize money; nor could he persuade the earlier governments to have in Pakistan a centre for theoretical physics which he then established in Trieste. Abdus Salam was an Ahmediya and was persecuted in Pakistan for that.
