Nawaz Sharif Leads Pakistan to Nuclear Power

Pakistan officially became a nuclear power on May 28, 1998, when Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif oversaw the successful nuclear tests, known as 'Yum Takbeer.' This historic moment marked Pakistan as the seventh nuclear power globally and the first in the Islamic world. The decision to conduct these tests was a response to India's nuclear tests, aiming to restore the regional balance of power.

The groundwork for Pakistan's nuclear program was laid by late Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, with subsequent leaders like General Ziaul Haq and Benazir Bhutto contributing to its development. Despite challenges and international pressure, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's determination and bravery led to the accomplishment of Pakistan's nuclear ambitions in 1998.

The pivotal role played by Pakistani scientists, notably led by Dr. Abdul Qadir Khan, cannot be understated in achieving nuclear capability. However, it is important to acknowledge the hardships faced by key figures involved in the program, such as the execution of Bhutto and the challenges endured by Dr. Abdul Qadir Khan and Nawaz Sharif.

Today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan continues to advance with initiatives like the Pakistan-China Economic Corridor (CPEC) and various infrastructure projects driving the country's growth. Despite adversities, Nawaz Sharif's dedication to democracy and development has left a lasting impact on Pakistan's trajectory.

As Pakistan celebrates its nuclear power status, it is essential to honor the contributions of its leaders and scientists. The nation stands proud as a nuclear power, thanks to the vision and perseverance of those who dedicated themselves to this cause. Long live Pakistan!
