Youm-e-Takbeer symbolises collective efforts of all facets of national power: PM

PM also pays tribute to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the founder of Pakistan’s nuclear programme

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Congratulating the nation on Youm-e-Takbeer, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif says the day symbolises the collective effort of all facets of national power, overcoming what seemed like an insurmountable challenge and achieving a milestone in the country’s defence 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 on his X timeline.

On this historic day in 1998, he said PM Nawaz Sharif demonstrated bold leadership by rejecting nerve wracking pressures and inducements to make Pakistan a nuclear armed nation.

“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.”
