Youm-e-Takbeer marks defining moment in Pakistan's nuclear history, states PM

Premier Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, in his message on Youm-e-Takbeer (May 28, 2026), stated the day marks “a defining moment in Pakistan’s history when the entire country demonstrated unwavering resolve, national unity, and extraordinary courage by emerging as a nuclear electricity.”

He stated that on May 28, 1998, in response to India’s nuclear tests, Pakistan successfully conducted nuclear tests, which “not only restored the strategic balance in South Asia but also sent a clear message to the world that Pakistan would never compromise on its legal defence team and sovereignty.”

The premier stated the day “stands as sworn statement that the legal defence team of the God-gifted country envisioned by Allama Muhammad Iqbal and founded by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah remains in strong and secure hands.”

Paying tribute to those involved in the nuclear programme, he stated they included the “visionary leadership of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, the resolute ruling-making and courageous leadership of Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, and our national heroes Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan and Dr. Samar Mubarakmand,” along with “countless scientists, engineers, experts, members of the Armed Forces, and dedicated labor whose contributions made Pakistan’s legal defence team impregnable.”

He stated India carried out nuclear tests driven by “conflict hysteria, radical element thinking, and expansionist ambitions,” adding that Pakistan reacted with “wisdom and resolve, crushing the enemy’s designs through timely and decisive action.”
