I found this here:
Science died in 1965: The article “Death of Science” by Ms Zubeida Mustafa needs elaboration. Actually science died in Pakistan on September 5, 1965. It so happened that the government of Ayub Khan set up various commissions on education, science etc.
The science commision consisted of eminent scientists Professor Abdus Salam, Dr Salimuzzaman Siddiqui and Dr I.H. Usmani.It submitted its report to President Ayub on Sept. 5, 1965 at a meeting held in Swat. It recommended setting up of laboratories and training of science teachers from the primary to university level and recommended increased funding.
The next day, war broke out between India and Pakistan and all the funding recommended was diverted to the war effort. The biggest victim of the 1965 war was science in Pakistan.
