ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The nation is observing Youm-e-Takbeer on Thursday to commemorate historic nuclear tests Pakistan conducted on May 28, 1998 in self-defense to respond to India’s aggression of nuclear tests.
The nuclear explosions made Pakistan’s defense invincible, and it became the first nuclear power in the Muslim world and seventh in the world.
On 28 May 1998 Pak successfully established credible min nuclear deterrence & restored balance of power in the region. AFs salute all those involved from conceptualisation to actualisation especially scientists & engineers who made this possible. Long Live Pakistan. #YoumeTakbeer

Meanwhile, in a statement on Twitter, the Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Syed Shibli Faraz said that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenals are the guarantor of the safety and security of the Country and its people.
The minister said that it was on May 28 that Pakistan got the distinction of becoming the first nuclear power of the Islamic world.
Shibli Faraz said that national dignity and security are supreme for us and the nation is united for the defense and development of the Country.
Responding to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Marriyum Nawaz’s remarks, the information minister said that there are efforts and hard work of a generation behind making Pakistan a nuclear state, and asked the PML-N leader not to link it with his family.

مریم نواز صاحبہ پاکستان کو ایٹمی قوت بنانے والی ایک نسل کی محنت اور کاوش کو ہر چیز کی طرح اپنے خاندان سے نہ جوڑیں۔اپنے کارکنوں کو تنہا چھوڑ کر ہر مرتبہ میدان سے بھاگنے والوں سے قوم آگاہ ہے۔جو اپنے بیانیے سے وفاء نہ کرسکے وہ عوام سے کیا وفاء کریں گے؟2/3
