President PML-N and Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has congratulated the nation on the occasion of Youm-e-Takbeer, the day exploded its nuclear bombs 20 years ago. In his message on this occasion, Shahbaz said that May 28 holds a significant position in Pakistan's political and defence history. On this day, Nawaz Sharif engraved a new history by pushing aside all the pressure and making nuclear explosions possible.
He claimed the credit of making Pakistan a nuclear power goes to leadership of Nawaz Sharif who rejected foreign aid and made defence of the country unconquerable by nuclear explosions. He said pride of whole nation was boasted up on May 28, 1998 with this remarkable achievement of Pakistan. Youm-e-Takbeer is the day of celebration for the Pakistani nation and Muslims around the world, because Pakistan emerged as the first Muslim nuclear power on the map of the world.
