ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif congratulated the people on Youm-e-Takbeer, saying the day represents the joint effort of all facets of national power, conquering what appeared to be an impossible challenge and marking a watershed moment in the country’s defense capabilities.
“May 28 signifies more than just a mere commemoration of a day; it encapsulates the narrative of our nation’s arduous yet remarkable path towards establishing a credible minimum deterrence,” the prime minister wrote in his X timeline.
On this historic day in 1998, he said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif exhibited courageous leadership by rejecting nerve-racking pressures and inducements to make Pakistan a nuclear power.
“I also pay tribute to Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the founder of Pakistan’s nuclear programme for his strategic foresight and unwavering commitment to the cause.”
