Youm-e-Takbeer being celebrated nationwide with national spirit and fervour

ISLAMABAD: “Youm-e-Takbeer” is being celebrated across the country as 27 years have passed since Pakistan became the seventh nuclear state on 28 May 1998.

Pakistan responded to India’s 5 nuclear explosions today in 1998, restoring the balance of power in the region and asserting its right to defence

Youm-e-Takbir is celebrated every year on May 28, and this is a memorable day when Pakistan emerged as the first Islamic nuclear power in front of the world, and Pakistan made the country’s defense invincible by conducting nuclear tests.

In response to India’s nuclear explosions, Pakistan, during the rule of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, conducted 5 successful nuclear explosions in Chagai, Balochistan on May 28, 1998, after which this day is remembered as ‘Youm-e-Takbir’.

Today, there is a public holiday across the country on Youm-e-Takbir, special events will be held, and salutes will be paid to the guardians of the homeland.

Earlier, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif hailed Pakistan’s nuclear journey and called for renewed unity and determination to transform the country into an economic power.

In his message on the occasion, the Prime Minister thanked Allah Almighty and congratulated the people of Pakistan, saying, “Today on Youm-e-Takbeer, I thank Allah Almighty and congratulate from the core of my heart the entire nation and all patriotic Pakistanis.”
